increased risk: pregnant women who suffer severe morning such as the duchess of cambridge, pictured leaving hospital in december, are more at risk of pre eclampsia, a study has found severe morning sickness that blighted the early weeks of the duchess of cambridge’s pregnancy could cause complications for mother and baby, doctors said yesterday those who, like kate, need hospital treatment for the sickness before 12 weeks of pregnancy are around 20 per cent more likely to be at risk of pre eclampsia, a study has found but experts said they hoped the timing of kate’s sickness, which came early in her pregnancy, meant she would escape the most worrying consequences because the condition is most hazardous when it occurs during the middle three months in early december, the duchess was admitted to king edward vii hospital suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare disorder that triggers severe vomiting during pregnancy kate, whose baby is due in july, was forced to cancel engagements following repeated bouts of sickness and dehydration but palace officials say she is now making a steady recovery and she has been seen out and about in public looking much better her condition is most common in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, after which the symptoms ease in most sufferers but the new research suggests that when the condition occurs during the second trimester, it can lead to serious complications in later pregnancy that need close monitoring the complications include pre eclampsia, which raises the woman’s blood pressure leading to strokes and even death, premature separation of the placenta from the womb lining before birth, and having a small baby the study, published in bjog: an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, examined data from the swedish medical birth register between 1997 and 2009 data from 1,155,033 women showed that 11 per cent of them suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum before they were 22 weeks pregnant the condition is caused by high levels of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, and a woman’s sensitivity to it researchers compared data from women having normal pregnancies to those who needed admission to hospital for treatment in the first or second trimester of pregnancy danger: pre eclampsia is more common in first time pregnancies and can lead to premature birth, still birth and babies being born smaller than average they found a slightly increased risk of almost 20 per cent in the rate of pre eclampsia in women who were hospitalised with sickness before 12 weeks of pregnancy pre eclampsia is more common in first time pregnancies and can lead to premature birth, stillbirth and babies being smaller than average as many as one in 20 first time mothers develop pre eclampsia, while around 20 women die each year from conditions linked to high blood pressure it is thought to claim the lives of 600 babies a year in the uk

kansas city chiefs safety husain abdullah should not have been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct when he dropped to his knees in prayer after an interception, the nfl said on tuesday the league's rule book prohibits players from celebrating while on the ground, but spokesman michael signora wrote in an email on tuesday that 'the officiating mechanic in this situation is not to flag a player who goes to the ground as part of religious expression, and as a result, there should have been no penalty on the play' the flag thrown in the fourth quarter of kansas city's 41 14 victory over the new england patriots on monday led to criticism on social media, with many wondering how it was different from players such as former nfl quarterback tim tebow dropping to one knee in christian prayer penalty: kansas city chiefs safety husain abdullah received a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he dropped to the ground and performed the sajdah (above) during monday's game against the patriots big play: abdullah had just intercepted a pass from tom brady (above) and ran it back into the end zone further punishment: the nfl may also fine abdullah (above) as well abdullah is a devout muslim who took a year off from american football to make a pilgrimage to mecca he said after monday's game that he knew before he even reached the end zone he would drop to his knees in thankful prayer after intercepting tom brady after he slid to the grass in arrowhead stadium, yellow flags came flying from the officials 'i don't think it was because of the actual prostration that i got the penalty,' abdullah told the associated press afterward 'it was because of the slide' and that's precisely the explanation that chiefs coach andy reid said he received from the game officials they had no issue with the prayer, reid said, only the celebratory slide 'i'm pretty sure he (reid) understands who i am, what my faith is,' abdullah said 'and again, the prostration is all right it's the slide come to a full stop, get down, make the prostration, get up and get out' faith: abdullah (above, with his son jalaal) is a devout muslim who fasts during ramadan pilgrimage: abdullah (above, with his son jalaal) also sat out the 2012 season so he could visit mecca during the hajj in october no response: abdullah (above) has yet to comment on the call the council on american islamic relations, a civil liberties and advocacy organization, issued a statement early tuesday asking that the nfl take steps in response to the penalty 'to prevent the appearance of a double standard, we urge league officials to clarify the policy on prayer and recognize that the official made a mistake in this case,' cair spokesman ibrahim hooper said reid didn't agree with the penalty, but he also didn't make much of it 'when you go to mecca,' he said, referring to the end zone, 'you should have the privilege to slide anywhere you want to slide we have two priests in here they will vouch for me' indeed, there were two pastors sitting in reid's postgame news conference tebowing: giving praise following touchdowns and major plays is common among many players in the nfl, most notably tim tebow (above) abdullah is in his second year with the chiefs after spending an entire season away from the game he decided that, in the prime of his career, he would join his brother hamza who also was playing in the nfl at the time to make a pilgrimage to mecca the fifth pillar of islam is the hajj, the pilgrimage that all muslims are supposed to make once in their lifetime abdullah, who also fasts during ramadan, told the ap in an interview last year the brothers wanted to make sure they did the pilgrimage while they still had the health and means to go in the case of hamza, it proved costly he never got a shot to return to the nfl

hamilton or rosberg? hamilton or rosberg? lewis hamilton ends the session quickest with rosberg just 0040secsbehind his team mate but in front of the tifosi, raikkonen crashes out of qualifying the finn made errors on both of his timed laps, and he could manage only 12th raikkonen locks up heading into turn one, and then runs wide at the chicane, so he eases off the gas to save the tyres and prepare for one final shot he's on the bubble in 10th so you'll fancy he needs to improve on his time there are three minutes to run and magnussen, kvyat, vergne, hulkenberg, gutierrez and sutil face elimination from q2 if they can't improve on their times the briton emerges from the mclaren garage and he pops in the fastest time of the weekend he is then urged to get a move on so he can go for a second run and nico rosberg storms to the top of the timesheets he is over 15seconds quicker than kvyat here comes bottas what can the williams driver do? he goes second, two tenths off rosberg's time ten minutes left to run and only two timed laps: kvyat leads the way but rosberg is on a flyer the german posts a 1:31488 which is a long way short of where he wants to be he'll run again hulkenberg, in his force india, is the first driver to take to the monza circuit skies are blue, the sun is out and the track is clear hamilton will be pleased to be back at the top of the timesheets, but the briton must make it count in q3 an impressive display from both williams men they have to be considered as serious challengers to mercedes here both lotus, marussia and caterham drivers are out of the session and that's the first time both maldonado and grosjean have failed to progress to q2 since the season opener in australia the lotus pair look to be in trouble here both maldonado and grosjean occupy the bottom six with less than a minute of q1 to go after a scruffy lap, hamilton responds to leapfrog massa and rosberg and return to the top of the timesheets, one tenth or so faster than his mercedes team mate jules bianchi, adrian sutil, max chilton, kamui kobayashi and marcus ericsson are heading for the exit while the lotus of romain grosjean is yet to set a time but just as i write that, the frenchman leaves the pits 'that was a pretty shocking lap', says hamilton as he fails to improve his time rosberg on the other hand does go quicker, and he bumps massa down to second but the championship leader is only 0035sec quicker than the williams man and massa does lay down a marker in monza as he posts a 1:25528 to head the timesheets with eight minutes of q1 remaining williams have looked handy all weekend, and felipe massa splits the mercedes duo as he pops into second he is less than a tenth off hamilton's best time could the grove based outfit spring a surprise today? fernando alonso gives the tifosi something to cheer about as he heads to the top of the lap charts, but he is soon eclipsed by rosberg who is more than six tenths quicker than the spaniard but here comes hamilton and, boom, the briton is faster than the pair of them and we're up and running in monza rosberg, who was battling a gearbox issue, is among the first drivers to take to the track sterling work from the mercedes team there hamilton is out on the circuit, too hamilton embraces his dad anthony before stepping in the car a pivotal qualifying session for the briton today he hasn't been on pole for 118 days there is more than a little suggestion that this could be luca di montezemolo's final grand prix as ferrari president indeed, there is talk the iconic f1 figure could be gone by the middle of next week the 67 year old is in the paddock this weekend and he popped into the ferrari garage to give fernando alonso a hug and it looked as though he enjoyed it if an when there is something to say about if i am staying i will make an announcement' following the drama with hamilton and rosberg, daniel ricciardo’s second straight win – following his hungary triumph – was somewhat lost 'he has been remarkable,’ says his boss christian horner ‘we have been there to capitalise on the misfortunes at mercedes, but you still have to be there and deliver and dan has been fantastic at that’ ricciardo is 64 points behind rosberg leading to some suggestions he might yet capture either of the mercedes’ men ‘we are a long way behind but we are just going to go for it,’ said horner ‘the more pressure we can put on mercedes more mistakes tend to happen so the objective is flat out with both of them’ the italian grand prix has been won from pole 11 times in the last 14 years, making it more important than monaco, which has only been won from pole nine times in the same period after what happened at the belgian grand prix, i took a lot of time to reflect on the events of the weekend i have since apologised to everybody that i can; starting with the fans because they wanted to see a battle with lewis and that did not happen i have apologised to my team, and to everybody involved with the team i have also apologised to lewis the briton, whose deal with mercedes expires as the end of next season, has held tentative talks with the team he left in 2012 you can ready more on that story here rosberg encountered a gearbox problem in final practice this morning meaning he missed the entirety of the session lewis hamilton meanwhile, was quickest 'we had an electronic problem on the gearbox which normally we can solve,’ said mercedes boss toto wolff ‘the guys are working hard and hopefully we can get it ready in time not running light fuel before qualifying isn’t perfect but he is very experienced he was in the debrief, and he knows how the car will behave… he will manage’ a fortnight on from their collision in spa, lewis hamilton and nico rosberg will resume their title back in qualifying for tomorrow's italian grand prix rosberg has accepted fault for the crash on lap two of the belgian grand prix, and he was subsequently punished by mercedes with a six figure fine he has apologised to the team, hamilton and the fans who booed him on the podium, too for hamilton, he has been cast 29 points adrift of rosberg, and you get the feeling he must outscore his team mate in monza if he wants to win this championship

mario balotelli is the classic enigma one of the world's best when he's in the mood, but infuriating to watch as he fluctuates in and out of on the field strops brendan rodgers says liverpool's £16million purchase of the striker as a 'calculated risk',but highlighted balotelli's goalscoring record his stats are indeed impressive, but there is far more to look into when evaluating a player like mario here, sportsmail looks at the most intriguing numbers of the premier league's latest hitman video scroll down for mario balotelli: i see expectation from liverpool fans worth the risk? mario balotelli has signed for liverpool in a £16m move from ac milan new chance: balotelli trains on his own at melwood ahead of his switch fall out: but the striker wasn't exactly the most popular character at manchester city top five european leagues, minimum 10 goals mario balotelli (ac milan) 133 youssef el arabi (granada) 141 kevin volland (hoffenheim) 143 antonio candreva (lazio) 145 gonzalo bergessio (catania) 147 all stats provided by opta and only include league data balotelli had the lowest shot conversion rate in europe last season with ac milan perhaps over reliant on the italian, the onus was on him to create his own magic in serie a plenty of long shots were attempted, and missed, so much so that his ratio from shots to goals was in a european league of its own balotelli scored just 14 goals from 152 shots, a conversion rate of 133 per cent misfire: balotelli's goal conversion rate in the serie a last season was the worst in europe inter milan assists 9 chances created 84 manchester city assists 1 chances created 37 ac milan assists 6 chances created 52 just one assist in 54 premier league appearances for manchester city arriving as a 19 year old with quite an ego, it was clear from the start that roberto mancini would struggle to handle his former inter milan protege in england not one for team spirit, balotelli was credited with just one spirit during his stay at the etihad stadium mind you, it couldn't have been more crucial the striker's through ball found sergio aguero in 2012 against qpr, with the argentine firing home in stoppage time to secure the premier league title some time to get that assist: balotelli set up sergio aguero's crucial winner against qpr in 2012 balotelli at manchester city 150 balotelli in italy 1468 premier league minimum 45 goals 1) sergio aguero 120 2) thierry henry 122 6) alan shearer 1469 balotelli's minutes per goal ratio in italy is up there with the very best aguero's goal in city's 3 1 win against liverpool on monday night put him at the top of the charts for impact in the premier league among those on the list of minutes per goals was alan shearer, the league's record goalscorer, with 147 minutes per goal credit to mario, his ratio in italy is 1467 there's no doubting he makes an impression plus side: balotelli's minutes per goal ratio was superb at manchester city and in italy one of the best: but balotelli's serie a recird was better than alan shearer's in the premier league balotelli in england fouls committed 93 yellow cards 12 red cards 3 balotelli in italy fouls made 256 yellow cards 33 red cards 1 three red cards in the premier league, one in serie a what is it with mario and england? balotelli was never sent off at inter as a youngster, and was dismissed just once with milan but with city, the italian was sent off three times he clashed with youssouf mulumbu against west brom, and was dismissed for two bookable offences in crucial away games against liverpool and arsenal so that's what rodgers means about that calculated risk poor record: balotelli racked up three red cards in the premier league he had just one in serie a 11 yellow cards in serie a last season, just two for fouls sulks, strops and scuffles are three words that best describe balotelli's attitude in italy manager's often defend mario's temper, and it's true he rarely sets into a tackle looking to hurt the opposing player but there's only so much a referee will put up with defenders know they can wind up the striker, and bookings often follow youngster: balotelli was raw potential at inter milan, but backed up his talent on the pitch bench life: the italian had to get used to becoming an impact sub at manchester city

arsene wenger puffed out his cheeks and strode purposefully down the tunnel he knew he had been in a game so did his players alexis sanchez, the matchwinner and hero of the night, and santi cazorla, a tireless worker in midfield, were walking gingerly, hobbling even they had completed 90 minutes but it had taken its toll this will have made happy viewing in the households of nigel pearson and his leicester city players, arsenal’s opponents on sunday it was tight tighter than it has been for many years too tight for comfort, by the end arsenal tend to stroll through this little technicality in their champions league programme, the qualification phase not on wednesday night video scroll down for arsene wenger: red card was harsh, giroud out until december on target: alexis sanchez scores on the stroke of half time to give arsenal the lead in their second leg tie against turkish side besiktas at the emirates stadium you've done it: jack wilshere, who was instrumental in the build up to sanchez's strike, celebrates with the chile international in front of the delighted home supporters arsenal: szczesny 65, debuchy 55, mertesacker 65, koscielny 7, monreal 6, flamini 6, oxlade chamberlain 65, cazorla 6, wilshere 7, ozil 55 (chambers, 76), sanchez 75 subs not used: martinez, coquelin, rosicky, podolski, sanogo, campbell goal: sanchez 45 manager: arsene wenger 65 besiktas: zengin 6, koybasi 6, franco 6, gulum 65, motta 6, hutchinson 65, ozyakup 5, kavlak 7, (uysal 76, 5); pektemek 55 (tosun 87), ba 55, sahan 6 (tore, 60, 5) subs not used: gonen, kurtulus, sivok, koyunlu bookings: kavlak, ozyakup, franco, hutchinson, uysal, tore manager: slaven bilic 6 referee: pedro proenca 6 attendance: 59,946 *player ratings supplied by matt barlow they were a goal ahead shortly before half time but it afforded a false sense of security having failed to score in istanbul, their single goal did not alter the requirement for besiktas an equaliser would still do it and as they went in search of one, so arsenal’s certainty faded by the time the home side were reduced to 10 men with 15 minutes to go, it is fair to say panic was spreading, certainly in the stands arsenal are a better team than besiktas, but they were terrifyingly vulnerable to a single aberration, a slack moment of marking or a freak, deflected equaliser well outside their comfort zone, the fans bawled and screamed their frustration to be fair, the anger over mathieu debuchy’s dismissal was misplaced he was rightly booked in the first half for choosing to meet olcay sahan with his shoulder, rather than challenging fairly in the air, and taking a yellow card into the second half his clumsy manhandling of mustafa pektemek was always going to invite trouble referee pedro proenca, from portugal, showed a red and the emirates erupted, but it was more out of fear than justified indignation calum chambers was then booked for coming on to the field prematurely as wenger sought to reshuffle the team, and may have a greater beef, but as besiktas had been denied a very plausible first half penalty, it is fair to say arsenal got the best of any incompetence it would have been a strange penalty, but no less warranted for that jack wilshere, who was exceptional bar this moment of madness and a miss after nine minutes that could have put arsenal in early command, made a desperate lunge from behind in an attempt to stop ramon motta it was hard to identify specific contact at first, save for the coincidence of both men falling within a split second of each other, but replays showed that in going to ground wilshere’s hand had clipped motta’s foot and perhaps sent him tumbling certainly, the circumstantial evidence would have convinced more than a few referees; and they would have been right nevertheless, arsenal had the better of the chances on the night and would have felt hard done by had besiktas progressed even in a fraught second half, the best of it belonged to arsenal and sanchez in particular will be kicking himself for a miss in the 53rd minute which should have put the result beyond doubt debuchy also found the side netting with a far post header, cazorla had an excellent chance blocked and alex oxlade chamberlain could have done better from close range time to celebrate: arsene wenger will celebrate 17 years in the champions league it was the 1997 98 season when a group stage last took place without arsenal early bath: mathieu debuchy was shown a red card in the second half after he picked up a second bookable offence chance: jack wilshere had the opportunity to open the scoring for arsenal in their clash against besiktas, but he dragged his left footed shot wide of the goal time to reflect: the england international holds his head in his hands after dragging his attempt wide after just nine minutes of the champions league play off player ratings sanchez the star man but 5/10 ozil was infuriating at times neil ashton: it's now or never for wilshere and he start to take his chances match zone special: sanchez delivers the goods but arsenal need a target man against that, besiktas will feel they had their moments, not least when mathieu flamini made a hash of a pretty straightforward defensive clearance, allowing demba ba to seize the ball but plant it wide of wojciech szczesny’s goal in the final minute of normal time ba could not get his head to a cross at the far post, having lost his marker had that gone in, there would have been no way back for arsenal instead, they are in thursday afternoon’s draw for the champions league proper, continuing a run of 17 straight campaigns and, thanks to a warped seeding system, in pot a, just like the biggest clubs in europe, those that win domestic leagues and continental titles it’s nice to be one of uefa’s chosen few the result was the best news of the night, obviously for wenger, second best was the identity of arsenal’s goalscorer — sanchez, the man tasked with pretending to be a striker for the months when olivier giroud is absent with his broken foot he isn’t a natural in the position by any means, maybe not even the solution if wenger’s resolve wavers before the transfer deadline closes on monday, but his first goal for the club was a vital one and that can only build confidence sanchez’s display in a forward role at everton last saturday was unconvincing and his appearance as a lone striker here was seen as something of a gamble, but he got the last word it was quite a test for him, after all the final qualification tie for the champions league is no proving ground, with so much at stake and away goals counting double suppose arsenal required two, or even three on the night? with giroud injured and the prolific aaron ramsey suspended there was a lot of weight on sanchez’s shoulders to his credit, he rose to the occasion he didn’t have much of a first half, and certainly didn’t apply the pressure in the area that giroud would, but when a chance presented itself he snatched at it, and in a good way moments earlier he had overrun a pass from wilshere to widespread groans, so it is to sanchez’s credit that he was instantly prepared to assume responsibility in front of goal again contest: per mertesacker, who captained arsenal in the absence of mikel arteta challenges for the ball the german was making his second appearance of the season london calling: former chelsea and newcastle striker demba in action for besiktas in the second leg of their champions league play off tie against the gunners in the stands: slaven bilic, who played for west ham and everton during his time in england, watches besiktas from the stands after he was sent off in the first leg on his marks: alexis sanchez takes a first half free kick, but it fails to test tolga zengin in the besiktas goal, falling comfortably into the goalkeeper's hands video sanchez showed fighting spirit wenger flying high: but demba ba failed to make contact on the cross which surely would have sent besiktas through to the group stages his moment came in the final minute of the half, after a headed clearance had found its way to wilshere he played a nice one two with mesut ozil and looked to be shaping to shoot from the return pass letting the ball run, however, took it into the path of sanchez who decided to eschew politeness and have a go, first time jackpot sanchez struck his shot low and goalkeeper tolga zengin could not get down quickly enough ultimately, it was all arsenal required for the 17th season in succession a delegation from the club will arrive in monaco for the champions league draw it was 1997 98 when balls were last placed in uefa’s many pots without one containing arsenal’s name princess diana was still alive and a chap called steve jobs had just resumed working at apple considering events at milton keynes on tuesday night and how quickly a football club’s fortunes can change, arsenal have every reason to be proud of that record they might even allow themselves a little pat on the back and call it business as usual what they cannot say this time, however is that it was never in doubt that little puff of the cheeks suggests wenger knows it, too yellow peril: arsenal defender debuchy picked up his first booking after an airborne challenge leading with his shoulder in the opening half on the run: mesut ozil canters down arsenal's left hand side, but his final ball was disappointing and the turkish side regained possession so close: sanchez almost doubled his tally after 51 minutes at the emirates following a delightful through ball from team mate wilshere let me take a selfie: lukas podolski was back in the arsenal squad for the first time this season after winning the world cup with germany spilling over: debuchy appeared to confront referee pedro proenca at the final whistle before he is pulled back by team mates' per mertesacker and matheiu flamini on his feet: ba, who had a chance to score an equaliser in the latter stages, is consoled by mertesacker, and then a smiling wilshere at the final whistle

click here to read martin samuel's full column the funny thing is, some folk still wonder if manchester united will get back to the top it’s when not if it is an absolute inevitability and not long term, either next season, maybe if not, the year after louis van gaal will bring the title to old trafford that is what modern football demands, that is what the rules dictate uefa decided several years ago that they wanted football to remain exactly as it was that day, and introduced regulation to facilitate a natural order they called it financial fair play and as on that day manchester united were the biggest club in england, that is how they shall remain lionel messi (centre) shows some frustration during barcelona's match against atletico madrid on sunday messi celebrates after scoring for barcelona against atletico madrid in the la liga clash so, now, if lionel messi is available there is one club that can buy him not afford him, mark you manchester city, chelsea and a number of others could afford him if their owners were allowed to invest speculatively in their business roman abramovich or sheik mansour might calculate that acquiring messi would be a catalyst for the next stage of development; not just in what he might bring as a footballer, but in the global statement such a move would make they might decide that, despite the astronomical cost, the end would justify the means if what it gave manchester city or chelsea was a rapidly expanded fanbase and increased marketing potential but then a man in a suit would step in and say no, or impose a punitive fine or, worse, a ban from major competition this leaves one club with the potential to make messi’s numbers add up it is unlikely messi will arrive at old trafford, either way much of what is being said in barcelona appears to be a power play, or contractual brinkmanship messi rails against false speculation one moment, and then uses the platform of the ballon d’or to announce that he does not know where he will be next season manchester united boss louis van gaal walks down the touchline after defeat by southampton on sunday cristiano ronaldo (left), lionel messi (centre) and his girlfriend antonella roccuzzo sit beside each other at the fifa ballon d'or award ceremony in zurich on monday night all is not well with barcelona coach luis enrique, apparently, and messi wants an improved deal the clever money says that he will get what he wants on both counts: a different coach and a new contract if not messi for united then, what of cristiano ronaldo or gareth bale? actually, the names are incidental the bottom line is that there are some calculations that are beyond all bar one club even by bringing in angel di maria, luke shaw, marcos rojo, daley blind, ander herrera and radamel falcao on loan in one window, manchester united demonstrated a financial capability that outstripped all rivals, particularly having failed to qualify for the champions league no other club could take a hit of £50million, as united did, and continue investing in this way obviously, united need champions league football from here to finance any grand plan, yet the mathematics of the messi deal bring home the lopsided logic of ffp, effectively delivering the hope of success to a privileged few southampton — incredible interlopers this season — should be able to cement their position, or at least build on it, with ambitious transfer dealing in the january transfer window, having defeated manchester united at old trafford barcelona fans show their support for messi by displaying a banner at the nou camp on sunday while uefa would closely monitor this new investment, however, manchester united — and united alone — could plan a bid for messi that might top £275m, including a £195m buy out clause so what chance do southampton have, long term? that 1 0 win on sunday? means nothing dropping down to fourth place? a tiny bump in the road for united we are not witnessing the beginning of the wilderness years because uefa will not allow it the worst that can happen is a temporary delay on the road back to the top manchester united can never be mediocre again it is unthinkable they will ever go 26 years between titles, as happened from 1967 to 1993 manchester city are out of the running for players like messi, and they know it their accounts are already under extreme scrutiny from uefa and the purchase of wilfried bony from swansea city is as close as they can manage to a spree there is also much talk about chelsea and messi but that is moot, too a frosty relationship with manager jose mourinho is said to have thawed, but who cares? mourinho knows the reality the club accountant will have the final say on messi, not him jose mourinho gestures towards messi during inter milan's champions league semi final second leg against barcelona at the nou camp in april 2010 asked about the deal last month, mourinho said: ‘i have no chance of that with messi at this moment there is financial fair play and we have to follow certain rules, certain numbers and we have no conditions to buy a super, amazing player paid with super, amazing numbers’ he is too confident in his ability to regard ultimate defeat as unavoidable, but it certainly seems that way if van gaal is as good a coach as his record suggests, this, coupled with manchester united’s financial supremacy only has one outcome, with or without messi

britain's economic recovery has put david cameron on course to remain prime minister after the general election, investment bank goldman sachs has told clients in a note to investors, goldman analyst kevin daly said strong economic growth and an improvement in household incomes would help the tory cause but he cautioned that the political situation in the uk was unpredictable, with no party looking like securing an overall majority keeping the crown: goldman sachs predicts that david cameron, pictured at the first cabinet meeting on tuesday, will win the election thanks to strong economic growth and an improvement in household incomes ‘it is not an exaggeration to say that the outcome to this election is more uncertain than any in a hundred years,’ he said ‘the likelihood of any party gaining an overall majority appears low, but we think the conservative party is marginally more likely than labour to win the most seats and lead the next government’ mr daly said the ‘unusually wide gap between the conservatives and labour in terms of perceived economic competence’ echoed the situation in 1992, when the tories defied the polls to claim victory he went on: ‘our economic forecasts – relatively strong growth, with a significant improvement in household disposable income – provide a backdrop that is likely to be favourable for the incumbent parties’ unsure: goldman sachs' analyst told clients that the outcome to the 2015 general election is 'more uncertain than any in a hundred years' the investment bank prides itself on the accuracy of its predictions, but tory strategists are taking no chances and are said to be making contingency plans to fight a second general election this year danny alexander, the chief secretary to the treasury, will be confirmed tomorrow as the lib dems’ main economics spokesman in a major snub to business secretary vince cable, who filled the role during the last election campaign senior figures warn that another coalition with the liberal democrats could be torpedoed by backbench mps and, with polls pointing to a hung parliament, party sources say a unit has secretly begun work on a second election campaign for a vote that could take place within months of the one in may even some senior ministers are known to be privately of the view that mr cameron should attempt to run a minority government, with a quick second general election, if the conservatives again miss a majority but end up as the largest party

a relaxed saturday morning atmosphere reigned at camp david today as ten of the world's most powerful people huddled in a log cabin in the appalachian mountains gone were the ties and furrowed brows of a busy week, cast aside for open necked shirts and cosy woollens as the likes of david cameron, barack obama and russia's dmitri medvedev sat back amid the idyllic maryland setting looking at the pictures from today's meeting, it is almost hard to believe these were the leaders of the g8 nations grappling with the problems of soaring oil prices and the eurozone on the brink of collapse dress down: the eurozone may be in crisis but david cameron looked remarkably laid back at the g8 summit, pictured alongside a grinning russian pm dmitri medvedev and german chancellor angela merkel the prime minister and his us counterpart kicked off their weekend in typically sporting fashion, taking to president obama's gym for a bout of treadmill diplomacy the president was said to have called for mr cameron at around 715am at his cabin called maple at the picturesque retreat after a session pounding the treadmills, the two men emerged still deep in conversation they were seen walking back to the cabins around 750am officials attending the summit were coy about which man had been the more athletic performer instead emphasising the intellectual content of their encounter it seems mr cameron is not one to let the pressures of running the country get in the way of a little downtime a new book describes his leisurely weekend lifestyle, which apparently finds him indulging in the odd frame of snooker, a few glasses of wine with sunday lunch or even a spot of karaoke in the biography, entitled cameron: practically a conservative, a friend says of the pm: 'if there was an olympic gold medal for ‘chillaxing’, he would win it' idyllic setting: talks begin between the leaders of (clockwise from lower left) japan, italy, canada, france, the us, the uk, russia, germany, the european council and the european commission relaxed: (from left) italian prime minister mario monti, us president barack obama, david cameron and russian prime minister dmitry medvedev listen cheerfully to german chancellor angela merkel during the g8 summit at camp david, maryland true to this casual outlook, mr cameron met with his fellow world leaders in a grey jumper with a checked collar underneath, while on either side of him, mr obama and the russian prime minister mr medvedev sported blue, open necked shirts the first working session of the g8 summit came after officials had worked through the night to find an agreed form of wording on the eurozone issue for the final summit communique following his preparatory talks with mr obama, the prime minister signalled that the g8 leaders were ready to tackle soaring oil prices mr cameron said action was needed to protect world economies 'we are addressing here the two biggest threats to all our economies and that is, of course, the eurozone crisis but also the very high oil prices that translate into high prices at the pumps,' he said 'we are making progress on both' picturesque: angela merkel and her aides arrive at camp david, set high in the appalachian mountains, for a bilateral meeting with mr medvedev back to nature: chancellor merkel (second from right) and mr medvedev (right) hold talks over coffee in camp david's idyllic woodland setting mr cameron said the summit which brings together the leaders of britain, the united states, germany, france, italy, japan, canada and russia was an opportunity for the non eurozone nations to press the currency bloc to resolve its problems 'particularly on the eurozone, what is required is a sense of urgency and then clear actions for strong banks, strong deficit reduction plans, strong governance and strong contingency plans for whatever might happen,' he said 'on all those things i think there's a good sense of talks taking place and a good sense that action needs to follow 'the g8 can't instruct the eurozone what to do but why meetings like this matter is that eurozone countries can hear from countries outside the eurozone whose economies are affected enjoying the view: president obama shows his fellow leaders round the camp david retreat on a sunny g8 summit saturday keep up, cameron: mr obama and angela merkel (in purple) lead the pack as the g8 representatives stroll through camp david new addition: recently elected french president francois hollande (left) shares a joke with the us president as angela merkel and david cameron line up on the lawn 'it's very important these messages get across but i would say there is a growing sense of urgency that action needs to be taken, contingency plans need to be put in place and the strengthening of banks, governance, firewalls, all of those things, need to take place very fast' mr cameron refused to be drawn into criticising german chancellor angela merkel for blocking a rescue package for the eurozone however, he indicated that he would like to see the european central bank do more to stimulate demand 'i think the german chancellor is absolutely right that every country needs to have in place strong plans for dealing with their deficits,' he said 'growth and austerity aren't alternatives you need a deficit reduction plan in order to get growth in order to have the low interest rates that we have in britain and are vital for the future of our economy 'but clearly, just as britain benefits from a strong government with a strong deficit reduction plan and strong banks but also an independent monetary policy giving us low interest rates, helping to push demand in the economy, so the eurozone, i believe, needs that approach as well' first ladies' meet: as the group of eight gathered in camp david, michelle obama hosted some of the leaders' spouses for a tour of the white house in washington, dc houseproud: mrs obama shows off some of the artwork kept at the president's residence the tour marked a first appearance for valerie trierweiler (right), partner of the new french president francois hollande

last night, a few days after returning from our annual family holiday, i went through all the photographs we had taken on our various smartphones over the fortnight it came as no surprise to discover there was not one single snap of me i hate having my picture taken what floored me, though, was how many there were of flo and annie, my teenage girls they had clearly been taking pictures of themselves endlessly the results made me proud and depressed in equal measure scroll down for video privileged: shona's daughters flo and annie won't feel inadequate and unattractive like she did growing up there they were sunning themselves on a rock, lying on the beach, drinking mocktails at the bar stupid me to assume they'd come on holiday to admire croatian culture what they really wanted to capture for posterity was countless images of themselves if i sound a little jealous, you'll have to forgive me staring in awe at one photograph after another of my daughters in skimpy bikinis was enough to drive the point home that i have never come close to looking like that and it wasn't just their beauty that made me seethe with an uncomfortable mix of pride and bitterness i was also flooded with unease at the confidence they exuded it seemed to me as if they were saying to the world: 'we're beautiful, and we know it' such audacity such knowingness yet somehow still so very innocent i may have given birth to these two gorgeous creatures, but their adolescence will be a world apart from mine how will i ever advise them how to navigate the passions they will arouse in boys and the jealousies they'll engender in girls? as someone who has hated the way she has looked since childhood, i am at a loss at how to guide them through this delicate stage of their lives i've written before about coming to terms with my looks, and how it has taken me most of my adult life to accept the fact that my face will never launch even the smallest pedalo, let alone a thousand ships i am a bit of an odd looking bird longed for a different face: shona aged 14 it's easier to accept the cards i was dealt now i am a 43 year old mother of four i have a lovely home and family, a job i adore and a husband who doesn't seem to care how i look as long as i am happy which, believe it or not, i am but for most of my teenage years, it was a different story i didn't need girls at school to tell me that a birthmark over my right eye left it looking wonky or that a mis shaped jaw made my front teeth stick out i was under no illusions but how i longed for a different face one that might get me to the periphery of the 'in' crowd at school, which all the pretty girls inhabited it seemed an even harsher twist of fate that both my parents were stunningly good looking at school open days i would watch, pained, as girls in my class looked in amazement from them, to me, and back again no, i wasn't adopted yes, my mother probably did wonder if i had been swapped at birth of course my parents tried to tell me i had other attributes my mother would say things like: 'you've got an attractive face, darling it's far more interesting than being conventionally pretty' all of which skirted around the fact that my face was so disappointing not even a mother could call it beautiful and so like everyone who suffers from rock bottom self esteem, i compensated in other ways i became an accomplished character actress, and tried not to feel disappointed at getting the part of bottom in a midsummer night's dream when i would have loved to have been cast as titania i worked really hard at being a loyal, reliable friend i was made head girl only to lose my badge on a skiing trip a few months later when i followed my friends out of our hotel room and down a drain pipe to go to a disco it was a small price to pay for being temporarily included in something the cool crowd were doing now, when i look back on it, i see that everything i did as a teenager was to balance the inadequacy of my appearance which is why, as a mother, i marvel at the fact that, through some genetic malfunction, i have given birth to the very girls who terrified me at school flo and annie are the antithesis of my teenage self they will never know how it feels to stand in a girls' loo trying not to cry because someone has made a barb about their funny face neither has a clue how it feels to be lonely at school neither seems to realise how truly privileged they are i know i should be relieved for them that their mobiles never stop ringing; that when they post a facebook snap of themselves, they are inundated with compliments but their effortless confidence needles me a little i often watch them as they saunter into school, flicking their hair nonchalantly worlds apart: shona knows her daughters' adolescence will be much different to her own how does it feel, i wonder, to take your place in the world without being held back by the slightest insecurity about your appearance? they say beauty is a curse not from where i'm standing it isn't a charity report last week confirmed that looks are more important than ever the good childhood report, published by the children's society, said that girls in england today rank as some of the saddest in the world because of concerns over their body image so in some ways i thank my lucky stars that my girls show no such concerns of course, if you asked flo and annie they could come up with a long list of flaws they perceive themselves to have certainly, when i told them i was tackling this issue, they pleaded with me to make it clear that under no circumstances do they believe themselves to be beautiful but, for me, this is like hearing cindy crawford complain about her facial mole or lily cole her red hair annie is only 13 and already flirts with an ease i have never possessed our local takeaway man is smitten although annie tells me she only does it to get extra spring rolls researchers have found that attractive parents pass on good looks to daughters, but not to sons flo, too, has admirers who really should know better a taxi driver recently commented how much she looks like a young jerry hall instead of feeling proud, i found myself snapping: 'she's only 15' the poor man looked horrified i have shown both the girls photographs of how i looked at their age and they howl with laughter i hope it helps them understand how it feels to be that girl, whoever she is i'd like to invite her over for tea and force my daughters to see that behind every ugly betty there is someone like me desperate to emerge but they just tell me that's weird and could i please butt out i'll never forget once interviewing sarah ferguson and her telling me that she stood eugenie and beatrice in front of a mirror every day and told them how stunning they were she was determined that her own feelings of inadequacy would never be passed on to her daughters it's a good lesson and one i have tried to adopt with flo and annie i feel i owe them praise, whether they need it or not it's hardly their fault they look this way any more than being so plain was mine the other day when we were all standing in front of the mirror, me cringing in the background, flo said: 'you know, mum, you're too harsh on yourself because you are beautiful in your own way' perhaps, just sometimes, it helps mothers to hear it from their daughters, too

when you think of wayne rooney, what are your standout memories? i have three the first is of him as a fresh faced and fearless 18 year old, lighting up euro 2004; second is his magnificent season in 2009 10 when he fired 34 goals for manchester united and was named pfa player of the year third comes the 2010 world cup qualifying campaign when he scored nine times under fabio capello others will have their own highlights but it is doubtful anyone will place wednesday’s game against norway at the top of their list though he marked his first match as captain with an emphatically dispatched penalty, nobody was in a hurry to shout about his display if anything, it raised a question: have we seen the best of him? video scroll down to watch wayne rooney flaunting his skills in england training struggle: wayne rooney (centre) did not look at his best for england on wednesday and has not for a while past his best? jamie carragher worries that rooney may have played too much football in his career so far at his best: rooney broke on to the scene at euro 2004 as an 18 year old and terrorised opposition defences arms aloft: an 18 year old rooney celebrates scoring against croatia for england at euro 2004 prolific: rooney scored 34 goals for manchester united in the 2009 10 season joy: the forward celebrates scoring against wigan athletic in august 2009, at the start of the campaign all smiles: rooney scored nine times during england's qualification for 2010 world cup under fabio capello finish: rooney was in the form of his life in the 2010 world cup qualification campaign for england rooney is 28 and during the next three years he will be in the period commonly regarded as being the peak for a footballer for the vast majority, it is the spell when they produce form of higher quality and greater consistency than ever yet wayne is different making his debut in the barclays premier league at 16 confirmed him as exceptional but it also meant there was potential for him to peak early having made 615 appearances for club and country, he has stats that you would expect of a player in his mid 30s think about it cars are not valued by their licence plate but on how many miles they have done competing at the highest level for the past 12 years, with all the pressure and intensity that accompanies it, leaves a mark can you imagine, from the age of 18, having to carry the burden of being the man for club and country? playing at the highest level is mentally and physically draining and the pressure on players like rooney takes a toll what is happening to wayne is not unprecedented look through the history books and you will see that those forwards who burst on to the scene as teenagers were rarely able to sustain that impact and consistency for entire careers defenders tend to have longer careers because it is possible for them to plod through games but with forwards, it is all about being explosive sharp movements, swift changes of gear, constantly operating on the edge, while taking a battering in the process look at robbie fowler when he was 19, he was liverpool’s best player and for three seasons, between 1994 and 1997, his goal record was exceptional but when he reached 26, he was no longer first choice at anfield michael owen burst on to the scene like wayne, he was seen as the saviour for his club and country at the age of 18 michael was sensational between 1998 and 2002, winning the ballon d’or, but physically and mentally it was a big burden to carry by the time of euro 2004, there were calls for michael to be replaced by wayne michael moved to real madrid that summer but he would admit his best form was before he was 25 neither michael nor robbie were helped by injuries were they triggered by starting out so young? skipper: rooney has been given both the united and england captaincy but is no longer as explosive games: rooney has played 615 matches in his career at the age of 28, as many as players in their mid 30s young starters: michael owen (left) and robbie fowler (right) broke into the first team at liverpool as teens best years behind him: owen left liverpool for real madrid and then newcastle united but was not as potent maybe that needs to be considered with raheem sterling he is in the position wayne and michael were in the rising young star of english football but it’s important he is protected and not flogged by club and country in the next few years this problem is not confined to english players take raul, for example a 16 year old sensation at real madrid, sir alex ferguson once called him ‘the best in the world’ he scored 134 goals in a five season spell, between 1998 and 2002, when madrid won three european cups over the next eight years, he scored 131 but in his final few seasons at the bernabeu, he was a shadow of the player he had been did that stem from being overplayed and subjected to great mental pressure from so early on? even the absolute best, the brazilian ronaldo and thierry henry, found their influence fading by their late 20s (both played top flight football as teenagers) and there has been talk that we may not see again the lionel messi who mesmerised for pep guardiola’s barcelona there is no doubt that last season, and his performances at the world cup, showed there is less dynamism in his game, comments which have also been made about rooney oustanding: raheem sterling, at 19 years old, has been a stand out performer for england this summer environment: carragher is worried that sterling may shine as youngster but, like rooney, wane as he ages peaked too soon? raul's goalscoring ratio deteriorated quite rapidly as his career at real madrid progressed wane: strikers thierry henry (left) and ronaldo (right) became less potent as they reached their late 20s distant memories? lionel messi starred under pep guardiola but he has struggled a bit in the past year don’t mistake this for a criticism of wayne it isn’t he has been a great player for united and has the honours to prove it he has been very good for england, too, and is likely to break both the scoring and caps records held respectively by sir bobby charlton and peter shilton but at the moment, questions are being asked of him, such as, ‘does he deserve his place in the team?’ rooney might not be at his best but in his last three england games he has scored twice and provided an assist the time to ask whether he should still be picked is when he no longer contributes i would have played him in switzerland on monday night even before daniel sturridge was injured danny welbeck, who had been suggested as an alternative to rooney, has only eight goals in 27 games for england wayne has 41 31 of which have been in competitive games he might not be playing well but he still believes he will score whenever he does feature he will still influence this england team, it just might not be as spectacularly as 10 years ago blow: daniel sturridge picked up a knock during england training at st george's park scotland can upset the odds and catch germany cold i had the privilege of watching germany’s last competitive game from the stands and on sunday i will be in the sky studios when they begin qualifying for euro 2016 it doesn’t seem two months since germany became world champions in the maracana but that heady night against argentina prompted a changing of the guard and it will be interesting to see how scotland fare in dortmund gordon strachan and his squad should be relishing this opportunity to take on germany in dortmund’s magnificent westfalenstadion nobody will be giving scotland a hope of getting a result but maybe this is as good a time as any to face germany time to shine: carragher believes scotland can upset the odds and surprise world champions germany prize guys: (from left) mario gotze, manuel neuer and thomas muller won the world cup earlier this summer since they beat argentina, philipp lahm their captain and best full back has retired, as have their record breaking striker miroslav klose and the arsenal defender per mertesacker maybe germany will not be as strong as they were in brazil? true, the midweek 4 2 defeat by argentina might prompt a reaction from joachim low’s squad but scotland have nothing to lose and everything to gain perhaps this could be the initial step that leads the scots to a major tournament for the first time since 1998 once germany get into their stride, they will win group d but scotland will be optimistic of finishing in front of the republic of ireland and poland to take second place and secure a trip for the tartan army to france in two years’ time time to go: german world cup winners miroslav klose (left) and philipp lahm (right) have retired what i'm looking forward to this week heading to my local ground to watch some authentic football with the premier league taking a break because of international fixtures, i’m taking the opportunity to go to the arriva stadium with my son, james, to watch marine v fc united of manchester in the evo stik league given that it is a liverpool manchester rivalry, i’ve no doubt that it will be fiercely competitive and, with luck, there should be a decent crowd, too if you’re like me, the last thing you will want to do on a saturday afternoon is head to the shops! local football: carragher hopes longer international intervals will get more fans attending non league football the international break has got me thinking, though the way the euro 2016 qualifying fixtures are now spaced out means that non league clubs are going to have an opportunity to attract spectators who wouldn’t usually go to their games saturday is the annual non league day if communities made a conscious effort to go and give their local teams their backing, it would make a difference in safeguarding their futures teams like marine are proud of their history and heritage recently, formby, another well known merseyside club, had to fold if we all support non league day, maybe in the future other clubs around the country will not suffer a similar fate like our manchester united facebook page

israel’s decision to grab nearly 1,000 acres of palestinian land to build settlements was condemned by david cameron yesterday as ‘utterly deplorable’ israel announced on sunday that an area of the west bank, near existing settlements at etzion, south of bethlehem, has been designated as ‘state land’ which means it can be used for homes for israelis the move came days after an indefinite ceasefire brought an end to weeks of conflict in gaza during which more than 2,100 palestinians and 73 israelis were killed scroll down for video condemned: david cameron used unusually strong language to condemn israel's land grab the existing settlement of gevaot in the gush etzion settlement bloc near bethlehem the 1,000 acres of palestinian land which is being seized is also near the city israel has been criticised for its move to seize 1,000 acres of palestinian land it is expected to be used to extend settlements close to the existing gush etzion settlement bloc (above) near bethlehem israel's land grab will extend existing settlements around bethlehem, which is already host to the gaveot settlement (above) like most west bank settlements it is heavily guarded with a perimeter fence land grab: israeli soldiers swooped on 1,000 acres of palestinian territory yesterday, sending a shock wave of anger across the arab world (stock image) israeli anti settlement group peace now accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of building obstacles to the creation of a palestinian state and a lasting peace mr cameron, addressing mps on the summer crises in iraq, russia and gaza, used unusually strong language to condemn the move he said that while israel had a right to defend its civilians against the ‘terrorist tactics’ of hamas, this did not mean supporting all the israeli government’s decisions ‘the appropriation of nearly 1,000 acres of land in the west bank near bethlehem is utterly deplorable,’ he said ‘settlements are illegal under international law and will do nothing to create the kind of peace process we all want, and we urge the israeli government to reverse this decision’ foreign secretary philip hammond said it was ‘a particularly ill judged decision that comes at a time when the priority must be to build on the ceasefire in gaza’ the us also criticised the move, calling it ‘counterproductive to israel’s stated goal of a negotiated two state solution with the palestinians’ protest: israel's actions in the west bank have led to large scale protests by palestinians, like this last week tensions: recent tensions have culminated in a series of heated clashes between palestinian youths and israeli soldiers, who remain in the occupied territory mr cameron has faced criticism over his response to the crisis, in which he has staunchly backed israel’s right to defend itself in the face of constant rocket attacks from hamas but he has long criticised the illegal settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem, where around half a million israelis live israel captured the west bank from jordan during the six day war in 1967 israel radio said the step was taken in response to the kidnapping and killing of three jewish teens by hamas militants in the area in june tensions stoked by the incident quickly spread to israel's border with gaza, which is controlled by hamas, and the two sides engaged in a seven week war that ended on tuesday with an egyptian brokered ceasefire the notice published on sunday by the israeli military gave no reason for the land appropriation decision peace now, which opposes israeli settlement activities in the west bank, territory the palestinians seek for a state, said the appropriation was meant to turn a site where 10 families now live adjacent to a jewish seminary into a permanent settlement construction of a major settlement at the location, known as 'gevaot', has been mooted by israel since 2000 last year, the government invited bids for the building of 1,000 housing units at the site peace now said the land seizure was the largest announced by israel in the west bank since the 1980s and that anyone with ownership claims had 45 days to appeal a local palestinian mayor said palestinians owned the tracts and harvested olive trees on them israel has come under intense international criticism over its settlement activities, which most countries regard as illegal under international law and a major obstacle to the creation of a viable palestinian state in any future peace deal nabil abu rdainah, a spokesman for western backed palestinian president mahmoud abbas, called on israel to cancel the appropriation 'this decision will lead to more instability this will only inflame the situation after the war in gaza,' abu rdainah said israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu broke off us brokered peace talks with abbas in april after the palestinian leader reached a reconciliation deal with hamas, the islamist movement that dominates the gaza strip in a series of remarks after an open ended ceasefire halted the gaza war, netanyahu repeated his position that abbas would have to sever his alliance with hamas for a peace process with israel to resume unstable: a spokesman for western backed palestinian president mahmoud abbas (pictured), called on israel to cancel the appropriation, saying it would lead to 'more instability' and inflame the war at odds: president barack obama has been at odds with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu over settlements since taking office in 2009 this was the latest point of contention between washington and its top middle east ally israel, which also differ over iran nuclear talks the administration of president barack obama, who has been at odds with netanyahu over settlements since taking office in 2009, pushed back against the land decision it was the latest point of contention between washington and its top middle east ally israel, which also differ over iran nuclear talks 'we have long made clear our opposition to continued settlement activity,' said the state department official, who declined to be identified 'this announcement, like every other settlement announcement israel makes, planning step they approve and construction tender they issue, is counterproductive to israel's stated goal of a negotiated two state solution with the palestinians,' the official said after the collapse of the last round of us brokered peace talks, us officials cited settlement construction as one of the main reasons for the breakdown, while also faulting the palestinians for signing a series of international treaties and conventions israel has said construction at gevaot would not constitute the establishment of a new settlement because the site is officially designated a neighbourhood of an existing one, alon shvut, several km (miles) down the road some 500,000 israelis live among 24 million palestinians in the west bank and east jerusalem, territory that the jewish state captured in the 1967 middle east war

'humiliated': jane hampson (pictured) had to leave the pi bar in liverpool out of embarrassment after a bartender refused to serve her a small glass of wine because she was pregnant a mother to be has said she was left 'humiliated' after she was refused a small glass of wine because she is heavily pregnant jane hampson, 37, said she would usually enjoy one 125ml glass of red wine a week with a meal after reading research which suggested it was medically acceptable but the deutsche bank worker, who is overdue with her first baby, was left dumbfounded after a barman at pi bar, in liverpool, told her: 'sorry, i can't serve you' when she asked him why, the bartender said: 'i refuse to have serving alcohol to pregnant women on my conscience' the exchange attracted the attention of other customers at the busy bar as miss hampson and her partner alistair townend, 37, asked for an explanation miss hampson said they eventually left the bar out of embarrassment and bought a glass of red wine elsewhere the nhs currently advises pregnant women should drink no more than one to two units of alcohol once or twice a week the equivalent of a 125ml glass of wine as bar bosses today apologised for the snub, miss hampson, from mossley hill, liverpool, said: 'i couldn’t believe it it was so humiliating 'there is no way i would endanger my unborn baby yet it was being insinuated that i was doing just that and being irresponsible 'at the time the bar was packed and all the customers were looking over at us to see what all the commotion was about we felt we had no choice but to leave because it was so embarrassing scroll down for video the bartender at the pi bar (pictured), in liverpool, told miss hampson: 'i refuse to have serving alcohol to pregnant women on my conscience' 'the fact i am pregnant was none of his business i appreciate a bar’s management reserve the right not to serve customers but obviously i wasn’t drunk or misbehaving or under 18 so he had no reason not to serve me 'i am not some vicky pollard type binge drinker i have done extensive research on the effects of drinking alcohol when pregnant and the fact is there’s nothing wrong with having a small glass of wine every week 'i have enjoyed a small glass of red wine with a meal once a week throughout my pregnancy but it’s not been every week 'i would describe myself as health conscious i have run two marathons in the past and i am not into filling my body with anything that shouldn’t be there 'when you look at how much of an issue excess alcohol causes in this country, i really don’t feel that any establishment that chooses to profit from alcohol sales is in any position to judge anyone' the incident occurred after miss hampson decided to take a long walk with mr townend around liverpool’s sefton park on tuesday night after their stroll the couple, who have been together for 10 months, headed to nearby pi bar research: miss hampson, who describes herself as health conscious, said she has done 'extensive research on the effects of drinking alcohol when pregnant' miss hampson, who works as an intermediary business manager for deutsche bank and also runs her own website selling eco friendly soaps and cosmetics, said: 'i asked the barman for a small glass of red wine and as soon as i said it i could see him pursing his lips as if taking a sharp intake of breath 'i went to the toilet leaving alistair at the bar and when i came back the barman came up to me and said he wouldn’t serve me because he couldn’t have serving a pregnant woman alcohol on his conscience it was outrageous and embarrassing 'we asked why but he wouldn’t budge we went to another bar nearby and i drank a glass of wine there instead' she added: 'throughout my pregnancy i have taken good care of myself and made the best choices for my baby i eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and make a fresh carrot, ginger and apple juice every morning 'i don’t even use normal deodorant because i am concerned about using environmentally friendly and ethical products 'i have read numerous articles about the effects of drinking alcohol when pregnant and i believe one small glass of wine once a week is not harmful to me or my baby 'i had no alcohol during first 12 weeks of pregnancy apart from one glass of bubbly and one wine in that 12 week period and then, at most one glass a week, but not every week 'it was usually with a nice meal out or on the odd occasion, like that tuesday just after as long a walk as i could manage the barman who refused to serve me was only in his 20s it’s not up to him to decide what i should and shouldn’t be putting in my body according to nhs guidelines, too much exposure to alcohol can seriously affect an unborn baby's development pregnant women are therefore advised to avoid drinking alcohol if pregnant or trying to get pregnant for those who do choose to drink, the nhs advises not to drink more than one to two units of alcohol once or twice a week the national institute for health and clinical excellence (nice) advises pregnant women should avoid alcohol in the first three months in particular women who drink heavily during pregnancy risk their baby developing foetal alcohol syndrome children with this syndrome have restricted growth, facial abnormalities and learning and behavioural disorders source: nhsuk 'i felt like asking whether he refuses to serve fat people pies, or whether the bar checks how much caffeine a woman has consumed that day before they serve her a cup of coffee 'there is recent research that suggests baldness is linked to alcohol consumption, are they going to start measuring people’s hairlines before they serve them a pint?' ben reynolds, area manager of pi bar, described the incident as an 'unfortunate misunderstanding' he said: 'i would first and foremost like to apologise to ms hampson for any upset or embarrassment caused 'i can fully understand her grievances and can completely understand why she felt upset 'i would like to state that we have no company policy on the serving or not serving of alcohol to pregnant people why would we? it’s none of our business 'what occurred was simply the result of a junior member of staff making a mistake and getting his wires crossed 'he is deeply sorry for upsetting ms hampson and assures me that he was not, as i fear she believes, making a judgment on her, but rather thought for some reason, despite his training, that licensing laws forbade the serving of alcohol to pregnant people 'however i can understand, given the unfortunate way he appears to have said it, why ms hampson felt he was insinuating otherwise i would very much like to get in contact with ms hampson to apologise directly'

men could soon be able to buy an anti impotence drug over the counter pharmaceutical companies sanofi and eli lilly and co say they plan to ask health regulators for permission to sell cialis, the world's top selling anti impotence drug, without a prescription the drug, which is also used to treat enlarged prostate glands, is currently only available by prescription the anti impotence drug cialis could become available over the counter in the us and europe under the terms of the agreement, sanofi is buying the exclusive rights to apply for approval of cialis tablets over the counter in the us, europe, canada and australia it is not yet clear whether this could include the uk and when the drug could become available if approved it also remains to be seen whether regulators will allow cialis to be sold without a prescription, in view of possible side effects like rival anti impotence drugs, such as pfizer inc's viagra, cialis can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure if taken with nitrates, a class of heart drugs that include nitroglycerin it is also inappropriate for use by people with severe heart disease viagra is not currently available over the counter but can be bought from some specialist pharmacies without a prescription it's not clear when the drug could become available and if health regulators will allow it to be sold without a prescription as it is dangerous for people with heart disease and those on some medications (file picture) however, before it can be purchased, patients have to be asked a series of health questions by the pharmacist to ensure it is appropriate for them to take professor raj pesad, a urologist in bristol, told mailonline: 'if it happens, there needs to be a measure of safety but i think is entirely feasible for pharmacists to advise because cialsis is a very safe drug ‘it's the sort of thing that doesn't necessarily need to be restricted to doctors’ prescribing but it needs to be given with care to people with heart disease or those taking some heart drugs ‘the local pharmacist will know what medications people are on from their local gps so it is a safe system ‘however, it can have side effects and could make things like heartburn and acid reflux worse’

another night in europe, another disappointment for manchester city roberto mancini, manuel pellegrini the name on the manager’s door does not seem to matter when it comes to the holy grail of the champions league so why is it that the champions of england struggle when they head into europe? sportsmail takes a look at five reasons playing in a library whisper this in the blue corner of manchester, but old trafford came alive on european nights manchester united fans were often criticised for their decibel levels in the premier league but the prawn sandwich brigade were drowned out in the champions league yes, group matches against lesser rivals can be a tedious, pointless and heavy drain on the wallet but not when serie a giants roma are in town, surely six wins out of six, joint top of the table, and ashley cole’s first return to england as a tasty side dish not enough for the home supporters, apparently manchester city failed to sell out their crucial champions league game against roma on tuesday night by contrast roma were handed a huge lift by their packed away end rammed with passionate supporters a half empty etihad stadium certainly did not impress paul scholes, united legend turned tv pundit ‘they've got the team, they've definitely got the players, the quality is definitely there, but do the crowd realise how lucky they are to be in this competition? i don't think they do,’ was the damning verdict from scholes busy tweeter rio ferdinand posed the question: ‘would fans rather watch ramsay’s kitchen?’ ouch double ouch given the united leanings not even the manchester return of ashley cole could rouse the fans to turn up in their droves misfiring strikers four goals in the two games leading up to this one meant that expectations were high for edin dzeko but he found the roma defence a step up from hull and, er, sheffield wednesday strange, that the bosnian can be infuriatingly inconsistent, which is why his city career includes so many substitute appearances he was clearly disappointed when he was taken off for james milner but with stevan jovetic coming back from injury, this was dzeko’s chance to show why he should be first choice when all the forwards are up and running credit should go to roma’s defenders, too they have only conceded three goals all season and tuesday night’s was from the penalty spot sergio aguero was the scorer but that was the high point the argentine has five goals in eight games this season but did not look anything like the deadly menace he was for most of the last campaign until his thigh and hamstring problems started he is a player of sublime quality but needed to show it against roma edin dzeko is sometimes infuriating to watch when he leads the line for manuel pellegrini's side no no for yaya last season’s player of the year is another who appears to have taken several steps backwards since the summer rather like steven gerrard at liverpool, toure is the go to player when things are going wrong on the pitch he can break up play, he can pick a forward pass and he can gallop forwards and score blinders but that’s when he is on form whether it is the speculation of his departure after the ‘birthday cake affair’, or whether it is an emotional hangover from the death of his brother – which would be quite understandable – toure is not making his usual impact roma were ripped apart by injuries on tuesday night so it could have been toure’s stage he did not take the opportunity yaya toure has struggled with his performances since a summer of discontent at the etihad stadium vincent kompany stares at the floor after francesco totti equalised for the italian visitors it was a mistake by kompany to allow totti through on goal before he sublimely finished beyond joe hart spanish sighs boss pellegrini had this game down as a must win, which meant he had to look for creators who could unpick the italian lock full backs maicon – a flop at the etihad and made to look a dummy by gareth bale four years ago – and veteran ashley cole would have been targeted, pre match as possible weak links oh dear yes maicon conceded the penalty, for which he was booked, but that apart the brazilian looked a player transformed from his city experience equally cole was comfortable in his role jesus navas was so bad that he only lasted 45 minutes while fellow spaniard david silva gave his all but could not find the creative spark which was required jesus navas was hooked at half time after struggling to exert himself on the game from the start maicon was seen as a weak link before the fixture but had a superb game rampaging forward from the back leaving les rosbifs on the bench a galaxy of talented foreigners on the pitch, two dyed in the wool, no nonsense english players sitting on the bench yet when james milner and frank lampard were finally let loose, city started to re discover their drive milner is one of those players who gets an unfair press – just look at the managers who have selected him for club and country in ice cream terms, he is vanilla no frills, no chocolate topping, but utterly reliable as he showed that again on tuesday night as for lampard, frankie boy is enjoying his own indian summer since his departure from chelsea and was the manager’s pick to replace dzeko had those two been on from the start, dictating the tempo and added some english grit, who knows what might have happened against a roma side who had key players out, including kevin strootman and before anyone brings up thirty something lampard’s age, think francesco totti, 38 like mailonline sport's facebook page goalscoring midfielder frank lampard was only let loose on proceedings just before the hour mark video plenty of points still to play for kompany

the population of london is on the verge of reaching an all time high, finally exceeding the pre second world war peak of just over 8615m the greater london authority estimates that the city will soon welcome its 8,615,246th inhabitant, the highest population since the eve of the war in 1939 as the population figure is based on gla forecasts, experts do not when the exact peak will be but some say it could even be today population peak: the number of people living in london is on the verge of reaching an all time high, finally exceeding the pre second world war peak of just over 8615m the last peak in london's population was on the eve of the second world war in 1939 pictured: people enjoying lunch at the open air restaurant at lincoln's inn's fields in 1939 statisticians say the record breaking londoner is likely to be born in the first few weeks of 2015, in one of the capital's outer boroughs where population growth rates are highest the news represents an extraordinary turnaround for london, which lost more than 2million people in the world war and once had a population of just 66 million the population is now forecast to continue at an annual rate of around 100,000 the equivalent of a new borough every three years with the population set to hit 10m by 2030 experts have warned that this could add massive strains to already stressed infrastructure, particularly housing and transport the biggest pressure is expected to be on housing, with an estimated 42,000 new homes needed every year to keep pace with population growth professor tony travers, director of research group lse london, told the evening standard: 'this is both good news and bad on the one hand it is far better to be living in a city that people want to come to rather than a declining city how london has changed: this map shows how london has expanded since 1939 age: this graph shows how the age of london's population has remained rather steady since 1939, but that we now have fewer teenagers and more pensioners 'but there is always the risk that people will feel there is not enough space, not enough transport, too much congestion 'such a large population inevitably means substantial investment in roads, railway, hospitals and all the elements that make a city work 'clearly, there is not enough investment going into london at the moment' barney stringer, director of planning consultancy quod, said the peak comes after the city lost a quarter of its population the equivalent of the inhabitants of birmingham, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast all leaving writing about it on his blog, he said: 'london is back to its peak, and while it has changed in so many ways, it faces some of the same challenges country of birth: this graph shows how many more people from other countries now live in london, compared to 1939 the tenure of london homes has also changed, with many more owning homes, despite the increase in housing prices 'just like 75 years ago we have extraordinarily fast population growth with commuting patterns and housing pressure spilling way beyond the city’s boundaries' the last population peak came after two decades of massive growth but it began to fall almost immediately after the outbreak of war in september this was largely due to evacuations and conscription even after the war, the population continued to decline, amid encouragement from planners for families to relocate the last time london's population peaked was in 1939, on the eve of the second world war but how different was the uk's capital city back then? currently, 13 per cent of people living in the uk are london inhabitants, whereas the london population accounted for 18 per cent of the uk in 1939 at that time, london was overwhelmingly white only 27 per cent had been born abroad today, around 37 per cent of londoners were born abroad this shows pre war areas in blue and post war areas in red the shape of london has not really changed in 1939, with no nhs and heavy smog, life expectancy was 62 today, londoners can expect to live to 82 the population pyramid shows london now has fewer teenagers and more pensioners than in 1939 there are also have more adult men, due to a 'missing generation' in 1939, after the first world war in 1939, statutory education only went up to age 14, so most of london's secondary schools had yet to be built before the war, only 2 per cent of people went to university and almost all of them were men in london today, 43 per cent of people go onto university and the majority of them are women although the number of people working in london has not changed greatly, the industries which cater for those jobs have the newly built areas of london in 1939 in blue, with the newly built areas of london today in red in 1939, around one in three people worked in manufacturing now 90 per cent of these manufacturing jobs have gone and most people now work in industries that barely existed in 1939 these include 250,000 jobs in it, with another 250,000 working in hotels and restaurants st paul's was the tallest building in the capital in 1939 now st paul's is only the 41st tallest building in the london the tallest building is the shard house prices have also grown extraordinarily in 1939, the average cost of a home was the equivalent of three years' salary; now it is around 16 years source: barney stringer

the journalist’s body is then shown lying on its back in a pool of blood the gruesome video of steven sotloff’s murder was almost identical to the clip of james foley’s killing released exactly a fortnight ago both american journalists were clad in orange overalls, forced to kneel with their hands cuffed behind their backs and then beheaded on a barren, dusty hillside by the left handed masked killer the horrific but slickly produced film of mr sotloff’s appalling last moments at the hands of the hooded islamic state fanatic was uploaded to the internet yesterday evening scroll down for video the gruesome video of steven sotloff's murder was almost identical to the clip of james foley's killing released exactly a fortnight ago lasting two minutes 47 seconds, it begins with a burst of static and a clip of us president barack obama denouncing the execution of mr foley, 40, on august 19 mr foley’s video also started with footage of the president before cutting to the scene of him kneeling before his murderer mr sotloff’s video cuts to what it calls a second message to america, subtitled in arabic, which depicts the 31 year old and his killer reading pre scripted statements blaming his impending death on us foreign policy the killer then stands behind mr sotloff and appears to attack him with a knife as the murderer slashes at the captive’s neck, the film again fades to black seconds later, the journalist’s body is shown lying on its back in a pool of blood, his severed head placed on his stomach the footage follows exactly the same format as mr foley’s murder both mr sotloff and mr foley appear to have been killed by the same man: a british fighter who has been dubbed 'jihadi john' the second film ends with a chilling final image: a captured british citizen being grabbed by the scruff of his orange overalls in what appears to be the same location the threat is obvious – he will be the next person killed two weeks ago, it was mr sotloff who appeared after mr foley’s beheading both mr sotloff and mr foley appear to have been killed by the same man: a british fighter who has been dubbed ‘jihadi john’ he is one of four britons fighting with is who were known as ‘the beatles’ because of their accents their executions were both filmed in what appears to be a hilly area with a blustery wind blowing however, in mr foley’s video there is a green plain in the distance below the hills and he knelt close to a dusty track this information led computer experts to pinpoint the exact location of the killing in the uplands south of is’s self declared capital of raqqa, north west syriathe jihadists, noted for their use of 21st century technology and social media, appear to have noticed this mr sotloff’s video is filmed against a bleaker background, with far fewer geographical features – just a ridge in the background – to identify where it was shot although it is impossible to say when the clip of mr sotloff was recorded, it shows him with a small beard and some hair on his head this differs from the film showing mr foley’s death, in which he was shaven headed and clean shaven this indicates that the videos were made at different times it also contradicts some western intelligence officials who suggested the men may have been murdered on the same day and the propaganda videos spaced out to generate more publicity mr sotloff – a freelancer for time magazine among other publications – is dressed in an outfit designed to mirror those worn by detainees at guantanamo bay next to him stands the extremist dressed in black hood and robes, a smart pair of desert boots, a leather shoulder holster and clutching a knife in his left hand – exactly the same clothes and weapons as in mr foley’s video kneeling, the journalist reads his final statement with remarkable fortitude a second message to america: taunting obama: sotloff's masked executioner tells the camera that the killing is in retaliation for us airstrikes in iraq 'i am steven joel sotloff 'i’m sure you know exactly who i am by now and why i am appearing before you 'and now this is the time for my message: 'obama, your foreign policy of intervention in iraq was supposed to be the preservation of american lives and interests, so why is that i am paying the price of your interference with my life? 'am i not an american citizen? 'we’ve spent billions of us taxpayer dollars and we’ve lost thousands of our troops in our previous fighting against the islamic state, so what are the people’s interests in reigniting war? 'from what little i know about foreign policy, i remember a time when you could not win an election without promising to bring our troops back from iraq and afghanistan and to close down guantanamo 'here you are now, obama, nearing the end of your term, and having achieved none of the above and deceivingly marching us the american people in the blazing fire' brandishing the knife as he rants on the video, the murderer approaches mr sotloff from behind and snatches him by the chin his knife apparently slashes across the victim’s neck although – just like the foley video – there is no sign of blood even though the shot lasts only seconds, the captive remains kneeling upright until his left leg shoots forward and he slumps again, the video then fades to black the deeply disturbing film does not show the actual moment of mr sotloff’s decapitation – marking it out from earlier, less sophisticated, predecessors such as the slaying of british engineer ken bigley in 2004 after a few moments, the film returns to show the sickening sight of mr sotloff’s body lying in the dust it then cuts to the image of the third captive, who is set to be the next beheading victim again, this follows exactly the same pattern as mr foley’s video the makers of the clips used multiple cameras, and professional microphones for polished production techniques – in stark contrast to earlier beheading videos circulated via the internet, which used grainy and chaotic camcorder footage they also used graphics and visual effects, plus editing tools to cut film of mr sotloff with video of obama’s press conference the quality of the videos is unsurprising: is boasts an estimated 2,000 recruits from europe, many of whom are well educated, with backgrounds in it or film production executioner: 'i’m back obama, and i’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the islamic state, because of your insistence on continuing your bombings and… on mosul dam, despite our serious warnings 'you obama, have but to gain from your actions but another american citizen 'so just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people 'we take this opportunity to warn those governments that enter this evil alliance of america against the islamic state to back off and leave our people alone'

you can combine culture with shopping at the danish design museum, where furniture for the people! is on until january 11, celebrating the centenary of the birth of furniture designer borge mogensen, who believed design could help to 'frame' a good life best wheels forward: copenhagen is a city of cyclists if you can remember where you left your bike the sleek 2213 sofa he made for his own home is known as the 'embassy sofa' because it is said to be found in almost every danish consulate around the world there is plenty on show by another world renowned dane, hans wegner his design philosophy 'we shall play serious play' is evident in his chairs: they are universally beautiful while being practical take the famous peacock chair with its flattened spindles, which are far more comfortable than the traditionally rounded versions the shop sells design books and geometric paper decorations by the copenhagen company livingly look in on the russian orthodox church on the same street, bredgade its sleet grey marble interior is magnificent, and itsdome rivals rome's pantheon for further inspiration, there are plenty of desirable design shops in streets around the king's garden (also known as the rosenborg castle gardens) lighting up our lives: copenhagen is fabulous during high summer, but has a twinkling quality in the winter gubi has an artistically curated collection of sixties style pieces and an elegant grand piano sofa in a deep bottle green (please, father christmas) cross king's garden and you'll arrive at the neat rosenborg castle, a 17th century palace this is also a good spot from which to admire the surrounding streets, their houses painted in brick reds and warm greys in the nearby ostre anlaeg park you will find six museums (including the castle, where you can gaze at the crown jewels) and i am thrilled to report at least one red squirrel the hirschsprung museum houses the danish art collection of tobacco manufacturer heinrich hirschsprung it is a compact gallery with some lovely pieces the works from skagen, denmark's northernmost beachside town, where artists such as kroyer congregated to paint outdoors, capture the long summer days and light dancing off the water there are antique shops and tempting jewellers signen just on stockholmsgade, next to the hirschsprung come in: copenhagen's shops especially on the commercial drag of amagertorv have a year round allure and the tastiest sandwich of my trip in aamanns smorrebrod on oster farimagsgade, nearby with toppings such as salmon and pickled fennel or danish blue cheese with plum gel and roasted hazelnuts, you can almost forgive the price tag (around £6 a slice) they offer punchy home brewed schnapps, which will send you back into the cold with a swing the interior is quietly elegant, with pearly marble pendant lights and dainty porcelain tea cups by anne black like the rest of copenhagen, it looks effortless or perhaps that's the trick rooms at the axel guldsmeden start from £105 a night room only (wwwguldsmedenhotelscom) air norwegian flies to copenhagen from £58 return (wwwnorwegiancom)

alan pardew has admitted he is lucky not to have been sacked by newcastle owner mike ashley – but will continue to fight for his future by axing senior players at swansea the under fire boss has conceded that he is fortunate to still be in charge of the magpies, who are joint bottom of the premier league after six games and sportsmail understands pardew will gamble on his position by making changes for saturday’s trip to the liberty stadium – including dropping yoan gouffran and handing forgotten man gabriel obertan his first premier league start in 18 months newcastle boss alan pardew will take some gambles with his team for their trip to swansea next up in a bid to improve their fortunes magpies owner mike ashley reportedly told a journalist pardew would be sacked if newcastle lost at stoke united spent £30million on their first team squad during the summer but pardew is prepared to rip up the tactics employed during the early part of the season in a bid to bring about an improvement emmanuel riviere – the £6m striker who was hooked at half time during monday’s 1 0 defeat at stoke – is set to be replaced by papiss cisse, while £12m remy cabella is running out of chances to return on his sizeable investment but it is the recall for obertan – who featured just three times in the league last season – which demonstrates how frustrated pardew has become with some players the 25 year old was signed on pardew’s recommendation in 2011 but has struggled for form and fitness and has made just 22 top flight starts in three years pardew, meanwhile, will talk with ashley this week, although his employment remains safe in the short term sources close to the billionaire insist that even defeat at swansea would not trigger a change of manager, with pardew set for a £5m payout should he be sacked pardew was met with a barrage of criticism after newcastle's defeat to stoke on monday night newcastle supporters held numerous banners calling for pardew to be sacked during the 1 0 defeat at stoke ashley does not want to go through the financial trauma of changing bosses and remains in support of the 53 year old, despite unrest among supporters who fear a repeat of the 2009 relegation skipper fabricio coloccini, however, insists there is a better mood around the camp compared to five years ago, when united went down after a season in which kevin keegan, chris hughton, joe kinnear and alan shearer all took charge of first team affairs ‘it feels very different,’ said the argentine defender ‘we have controlled games last time we went down we could not control games now we do despite a poor start to the season newcastle skipper fabricio coloccini is confident they can turn it around ‘we have a tight group all working for each other we are staying positive as well we just need three points to take the pressure off ‘i have extra responsibility because i am captain and i take that’ and coloccini has called on fans to get behind the team this weekend ‘the fans have been fantastic,’ he said ‘we just have to keep going 'we are training hard and giving everything you can see on the pitch we want to win the games the other teams have maybe two chances against us, and they score that happens when you are having a bad time’

today accused white dee of being 'bone idle' 'i have a good day, i have three bad days and then i have two good days what sort of employer would i ring up and say 'sorry i can't come in for three days i'm low'' conservative mp philip davies accused white dee of not being interested in finding a job ‘if the people from benefits street are going to make these public appearances hopefully they are going to be paid for it so the taxpayer can get some of their money back,' he said ‘i think every time people look at white dee make an appearance hopefully it will serve as a reminder to people of the mess the benefits system is in and how badly iain duncan smith’s reforms are needed ‘white dee is bone idle and doesn’t want to work another day in her life and has no intention of finding a job she expects the taxpayer to fund her life on benefits ‘the only person who should be depressed is the taxpayer who has to pick up the bill’ mr davies spoke out today as separate figures revealed

place where (i can work) i suffer with depression and i am being assessed for bipolar disorder 'i have a good day, i have three bad days and then i have two good days what sort of employer would i ring up and say 'sorry i can't come in for three days i'm low' i would prefer to be working' more than 800,000 people have had their jobseeker's allowance payments suspended by the government because they are not doing enough to look for work, new figures revealed today tough new rules were introduced in october 2012 as ministers made it clear what claimants had to do in return for their benefits payments have been suspended a total of 818,000 times since then if claimants failed to attend an appointment, rejected a job offer or were not doing enough to find work work and pensions secretary iain duncan smith said: 'this government has always been clear that in return for claiming unemployment benefits jobseekers have a responsibility to do everything they can to get back into work 'as part of the government’s long term economic plan, we are ending the something for nothing culture and supporting those who want to work hard and play by the rules' 'people who are in a job know that if they don’t play by the rules or fail to turn up in the morning, there might be consequences, so it’s only right that people on benefits should have similar responsibilities 'sanctions are used as a last resort, but it’s only right that there is a penalty if people fail to play by them' white dee has revealed she receives around £200 a week in handouts which consist of employment support allowance (esa) because of her condition, child benefit and child tax credits in order to get her esa benefits for depression, white dee will have been assessed by atos workers who would have signed her off as unfit to work during the process, she may have provided a gp's note confirming that she is sick as a mother of two she is entitled to £3370 child benefit per week, a maximum of £10015 esa

years ago she narrowly avoided prison after being caught stealing £13,000 speaking on this morning today, she said that although she appeared jovial on screen, channel 4 did not do enough to show how bad her condition is she said: 'it's a horrible stigma, depression just because you suffer from depression, you don't suffer from it twenty four hours a day they (channel 4) were let into the house when i was sleeping, so they did see both sides of it and in reality they could have put more of that out' she added: 'it started off as a bereavement depression when i lost my mum the most important person in my life was just gone' the mother, who has children gerrard, seven, and caitlin, 16, also said that she appeared on benefits street thinking it was going to show off the community spirit in james turner street where she lives 'i think we went into it very naively to be honest,' she said 'obviously we went into it believing it was community spirit i know people are probably sick of hearing us say that now but we were told that how we live were how children used to live years ago, where they could all play out together, where we all helped each other, when someone is ill, someone else looks after their children' benefits street: james turner street in birmingham where the channel 4 show was filmed it contained benefit fraudsters, shoplifters and drug use it has been criticised by viewers for being unrealistic benefits street 'star': street matriarch white dee, pictured with her daughter caitlin, 16, who has been tipped to star on celebrity big brother after her appearances on channel 4 she appeared on television today after accusing channel 4 of 'manipulating' her and her neighbours during a live television debate on monday she said: 'you (channel 4) spent up to 18 months, up to two years, to film people that were working, you filmed old age pensioners, you came to parties, you filmed open days, community spirit and boom (you showed) five of us' the single mother who chewed gum during the live show added that on screen life on handouts was made to look like fun 'it looks great, it looks like a right barrel of laughs it looks like you are having a great crack,' she said 'obviously it is just a programme that they put together into 40 minutes that they had spent 18 months filming' marjorie wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity sane, said that people with depression have good days and bad days 'mental illnesses like depression can fluctuate from day to day and the current way people are being assessed for benefits takes no account of the reality of these conditions,' she said 'our own experience at sane is that most people with depression really want to work but they are simply unable to take the stress of a full working week to overcome the exhaustion and debilitation which are symptoms of the illness 'white dee is right that this makes it exceptionally difficult for employers and potential employees who may not be able to fulfil the demands of a full working week we need a benefits system flexible enough to protect both'

just shy: england captain eoin morgan's former mentor says the irishman's decision not to sing the anthem is not political england's irish cricket captain eoin morgan does not sing the national anthem before matches as he is 'very shy', not because of politics, his former mentor says the dublin born batsman, who switched from the irish to the english side in 2009 and was made captain late last year, has stayed quiet as god save the queen has boomed out at the cricket world cup while some have suggested his silence is because he is from ireland, those close to the skipper say he is simply too shy to sing on camera asked why he has not been belting out the anthem before the test matches in australia and new zealand this month, morgan said it was 'a long story' and 'a personal thing' adding that he would not sing the irish anthem either, he said at a press conference: 'it's pretty simple i have never sung the national anthem when playing for ireland or england it does not make me any less proud to be an english cricketer 'i am extremely proud to be in the position that i am in and privileged to be captain of the world cup side' morgan's former deputy headmaster kevin jennings, who gave the cricketer a scholarship when he was 11 years old, told the daily telegraph that his decision not to sing was not political he said: 'he’s a very shy fellow i would imagine he’d be quite self conscious singing in that context i would say it’s as simple as that he certainly wasn’t in the school choir 'i’ve known him since he was 11 and he was always very quiet and reserved where he was confident was going out to bat 'i know people could read something into it, but i don’t think it’s political he certainly isn’t political to my knowledge' the dublin born batsman has stayed quiet as god save the queen was boomed out at the cricket world cup england rugby mascot harry westlake was described as a 'legend' by full back mike brown for belting out the anthem before a six nations match this month mr jennings, now retired, added that morgan is 'well mannered and polite but never an extroverted fellow he wouldn’t overdo the chat when i see him do these press conferences now i think, he couldn’t have done that seven or eight years ago he must be coached for that' morgan's silence has divided opinion on twitter, with some saying that the england captain should sing the national anthem the england cricket team represents england and wales and rules state that only british and irish players can be picked these british and irishmen must be born in england or wales, however they can qualify by residency, as morgan did by living in middlesex for four years however during those years he was still allowed to play for ireland, as they do not play full test cricket like england do morgan was the third irishman to switch allegiance, after ed joyce and boyd rankin until 1992, the england team also represented scotland piers morgan wrote: 'if you want to captain england, then sing the damn national anthem too' but gary lineker defended the cricketer, saying: 'not everyone is comfortable singing some do, some don't doesn't alter performance 'i used to hate singing it still do mainly because i'm hideously bad don't understand why it's important' england rugby mascot harry westlake was described as a 'legend' by full back mike brown for belting out the anthem before the six nations match against italy a fortnight ago six year old harry could be seen singing with all of his heart before the match at twickenham and his performance went viral on twitter before the football world cup in brazil last summer, england roy hodgson demanded that his players sing the national anthem with pride he said at the time: 'you very rarely play against opponents and they haven't got their hands on their hearts and singing their anthem as loud as they can 'we are proud to be england players and, in my case, england manager, so when the national anthem comes up it's an obvious one for me that we sing it'

resplendent in a red and blue sari with her hair twisted into an elaborate plait, bakul looks like any other teenage girl at first glance but while she might have similar tastes to other teens, her life in the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, is very different for bakul, although just 17 years old, has already been married for two years after being forced to wed a rickshaw driver named romy when he threatened to end his own life if she didn't child: although illegal in bangladesh, bakul was married when she was just 15 and now has a daughter, jui 'they said he’d commit suicide if i didn’t run away with him,' she explains, as she sits with her eight month old daughter, jui, who fidgets in her arms since the wedding, life has been hard with bakul forced to swap going to school for days spent doing chores and taking care of her child worse, romy, 21, has proved to be a less than stellar husband, frequently leaving his wife and child to survive on the pittance he gives them from his wages of 400 taka (£38) a month 'he spends more than he earns, and usually doesn’t give me money,' explains bakul, who has lost weight since her wedding thanks to romy's reluctance to provide adequate funds for food 'most of our money goes on food,' she adds 'i really regret getting married so young i had so much freedom before and didn’t have to care about my family and responsibilities' family: bakul, pictured with her younger brother and sister, lives in dhaka with husband romy and baby jui the 20 countries where child weddings are most common and the percentage of girls involved and she's not the only member of her family to marry young her mother nashima was married off at just 13 years old and gave birth to bakul as a 16 year old 'i was so young and i didn’t know my husband, so i was afraid of him,' says nashima 'i didn’t know what it meant to have a husband' shocking though they are, bakul and nashima's stories are far from unusual 20 per cent of bangladeshi girls marry before the age of 15, while 66 per cent wed before the age of 18 even though both scenarios are illegal worldwide, one in nine girls are married off before the age of 15, with those that do running a significantly higher risk of dying in childbirth than women in their 20s 'i have some friends who are going to college now and i feel bad that i can’t go with them,' adds bakul mother and daughter: bakul's own mother, nashima (left) was married off at the age of 13 and had a baby at 16 source: international centre for research on women 1 niger 2 chad 3 central african republic 4 bangladesh 5 guinea 6 mozambique 7 mali 8 burkina faso 9 south sudan 10 malawi 11 madagascar 12 eritrea 13 india 14 somalia 15 sierra leone 16 zambia 17 dominican republic 18 ethiopia 19 nepal 20 nicaragua source: unicef 'i used to really enjoy my school life my teacher used to call me a singing bird because i would always sing and dance' instead of school, bakul's day is now dominated by chores and caring for her daughter, as well as trying to keep her husband happy 'i get up at 5am for morning prayers,' she explains 'i start cooking and go to fetch water from the tube well nearby 'i look after the baby and make food and then think about what food to make for lunch by 7pm i try to finish all of my cooking and household chores and then watch tv and watch soap operas' for bakul, like many married girls, watching soap operas is the most exciting part of her day 'one show i watch is tapur tupur,' she reveals 'it’s the story of two sisters i aspire to be like tupur, she’s the good one, the responsible wife and daughter in law who helps everyone when they are in a bad situation' sadly, for bakul and others like her, the chances of escaping her own 'bad situation' are vanishingly small global problem: india is the country with the highest number of child brides, this little girl among them with more than 14 million child marriages each year, underage weddings are becoming an increasingly common problem worldwide but are seen more frequently in very religious countries such as bangladesh 'the causes of child marriage in bangladesh are complex, and vary from context to context,' explains kanwal ahluwalia, a gender adviser at children's charity plan uk 'however, the practice is driven by boys being valued over girls and poverty, because poorer families try and marry their daughters off early due to economic pressures within the household and also because a dowry is cheaper if the girl is younger 'other factors include using child marriage as a way to control girls’ sexuality and prevent them marrying outside the arranged marriage system and weak enforcement of laws' currently, 20 per cent of bangladeshi girls are married by the age of 15 while another 66 per cent have wed by the age of 18, even though both are illegal 'national laws are not implemented,' adds ahluwalia, 'possibly because of negative views and the influence of religious and traditional leaders' for more information on plan uk’s work to end child marriage, visit wwwplan ukorg

mike ashley does not want to sack alan pardew he does not want to suffer the financial trauma of changing managers mike ashley, however, does not want to be relegated likewise, he does not want to suffer the financial trauma of that sorry scenario (again) alan pardew has come under fan pressure following a poor start to the season but has the players' support mike ashley does not want to sack pardew and would be content to finish fourth from bottom in the league to that end, if a mystic magpie were to fly by the owner’s helicopter and reveal that, under pardew, newcastle would finish fourth from bottom, he would remain in charge it’s a numbers game with ashley check his bank balance and you’ll see why he is divorced from sentiment, stung emotionally and financially by agreeing to the return of geordie messiah kevin keegan in 2009 so if pardew, then, can guarantee newcastle’s premier league status and the cash bonanza to which survival equates, he will be ok by his paymaster mike ashley was stung following the return of geordie messiah kevin keegan in 2009 but would pardew be happy with such an eventuality? a fortnight ago, on the eve of the home game with hull, he held court with journalists at the club’s training ground, convincing us – and perhaps himself – that his was a cause worth fighting for there was off the record, on the record, gusto and guts in the subsequent match, his team were equally spirited, rallying to recover a two goal deficit and claim a point four days later there was the league cup win at crystal palace relief? or merely a temporary reprieve? his demeanour in the wake of monday’s 1 0 defeat at stoke suggests the latter for the first time, he looked like a man in need of a break he has not lost the dressing room on the contrary, senior players remain in support of their boss, both privately and publicly pardew still has the support of his players and the owner, but the fans are clear that they want him to go fans hold up signs calling for pardew to be sacked as newcastle lost again at stoke on monday night if anything, though, that is something of a concern for had there been discord behind the scenes, a change of coach could well trigger an improvement but this lot – and you suspect pardew knows this – simply aren’t good enough this is a team without invention, identity, energy or endeavour, and for that he is in part culpable but the manager does not have autonomy on transfers – far from it – and has been denied a goalscorer, the one commodity which masks the failings of others he cannot speak out against the club’s transfer policy and the modus operandi of their soccermarket sweep of the continental aisle now that would be a sackable offence peter crouch's headed goal, which earned stoke a 1 0 win on monday, put yet more pressure on newcastle instead, he has offered a whole host of reasons as to the team’s shortcomings in recent seasons – hence the now familiar chant, ‘alan pardew, it’s never your fault’ but perhaps now he’s had enough of it all – hands tied in transfer dealings, supporter unrest and venom hissed in his direction, no ambition from above and a squad which, no matter the man in charge, will lurk in dangerous waters until january at least does he attempt to paddle through until then? or is he resigned to being taken by the current which runs against him? either way, he will not abandon the liferaft to which he currently clings but were ashley to blow him out of the water, you get the impression it would save the manager from drowning perhaps now it is for the best

(file picture) research has found that, not surprisingly, that in the vast majority of british couples, the man was taller vertically challenged men get the short end of the stick when it comes to marriage according to research which shows husbands overwhelmingly tend to be taller than their wives information on thousands of british couples revealed, not surprisingly, that in the vast majority 925 per cent the man was taller women had the edge in only 4 per cent of the couples investigated and couples of equal height were even rarer, making up the remaining 35 per cent however, the results didn't simply reflect the average difference in height between men and women if the couples had been randomly paired between men and women in the data then wives would have been taller than their husbands in 6 per cent of cases british and dutch researchers used data on more than 12,000 families from around the uk to look at height differences the average height of the women studied was 5ft 45in, while the average man reached 5ft 10in – making him 55in taller than the woman in his life the study, one of the first to look at couples, noted previous research which has shown that women prefer taller men and men prefer their women to be shorter however, it seems that women don’t like their men to be too tall in just around one in seven cases was the man 10in or more taller than the woman and, in an exception to the rule, very tall men tended to settle down with short women newcastle university researcher professor daniel nettle, said this may because at the extremes of height simply have less choice professor nettle, who collaborated with gert stulp, from the university of groningen in the netherlands, said that it is likely that those of around average height pair off first, simply because they have more choice this leaves the others with fewer potential partners to pick from 'pair formation, acquiring a mate to form a reproductive unit, is a complex process mating preferences are a step in this process,' the researchers said in the study published in the journal plos one this month 'mating preferences, the propensity to mate with certain phenotypes, are an important part of pair formation 'however, due to constraining factors such as availability of mates, rival competition, and mutual mate choice, preferred characteristics may not be realised in the actual partner' the theory chimes with previous research from mr stulp that found that men of average height tend to father more children than their taller counterparts specifically, those of a middling 5ft 105in had 26 children, while one those who towered above them at 6ft 5in sired just 217 children, on average the study also found women don¿t like their men to be too tall in just around one in seven cases was the man 10 inches or more taller than the woman philip cohen, professor of sociology at the university of maryland, looked at similar data in the us and found the same trends occurred there he downloaded the 2009 panel study of income dynamics, a us survey that includes height reported for 4,600 married couples looking at the height distributions for those couples he found a median difference of six inches data from the 2009 panel study of income dynamics, a us survey that includes height for 4,600 couples, showed that there the average husband's height was 5ft 11in while the average wife was 5ft 5in professor cohen explained that if the same people in the data set married at random, it could be expected that the husband would be taller most of the time, and that is what he did find plotting the results on a graph, he explained in an article in the atlantic that the most common arrangement is the husband five to six inches taller only a small minority of couples — 38 per cent — were on the left side of the red line on professor cohen's graph, indicating a taller wife only a small minority of couples 38 per cent are on the left side of the red line on the graph, indicating a taller wife but randomising the data showed that if couples were paired by chance alone 78 per cent had a taller wife to find out whether this was because people are deliberately looking for taller husband shorter wife pairings, professor cohen compared the actual distribution with a randomised outcome to do this he made 10 copies of all the men and women in the data, scrambled them up, and paired them at random most couples still had a taller husband, but 78 per cent had a taller wife nearly twice as many as in the actual results superimposing the two sets of data in a new graph showed that there are more couples than one would expect by chance where a man is from the same height up to 7 8in taller and below same height where the woman is taller is seen more rarely in the population as would be expected if couples were paired at random this final graph superimposes the distribution of the actual and randomised results professor cohen comments: 'humans could couple up differently, if they wanted to if it were desirable to have a taller woman shorter man relationship, it could be much more common 'in these data, we could find shorter husbands for 28 percent of the wives instead, people exaggerate the difference by seeking out taller man shorter woman pairings for marriage

boris johnson today attacked the ‘multi culti balkanisation’ of british society which means thousands of people do not speak english the london mayor insisted people who come to the uk should learn the language, stressing it is ‘is unbelievably easy to get the hang of’ he condemned the ‘disastrous approach’ of teaching children in other languages and the ‘nonsense’ of offering translated versions of official documents london mayor boris johnson insisted people who come to the uk should learn the language, stressing it is ‘is unbelievably easy to get the hang of’ census figures from 2011 show there were 138,000 people in england and wales who could not speak any english mr johnson said it was ‘huge wasted opportunity’ for those people who are not able to ‘participate’ in the uk economy speaking on lbc radio, he said: ‘i think everybody in london, everybody who comes to work in our economy should be able to speak english’ in an apparent attack on the last labour government he went on: ‘we went through a long period in britain of having kind of multi culti balkanisation of our society and we thought it was a very good idea to teach kids in their own language in primary school classes in london ‘i think that’s a disastrous approach, they should be in english ‘as far as the mayoralty is concerned, we have dropped a lot of those ‘we’ll offer to translate our document into umpteen languages’ i think its complete nonsense’ he said it was a ‘great shame’ that the last labour government cut funding for teaching english ‘we whacked some dosh back in from city hall because i think it’s an absolute priority’ he said that in many parts of the capital whole communities do not speak english ‘you go out into tower hamlets, places like that, you can find people who have been then there several generations who still don’t speak english ‘one of the reasons is the media is so massive now but so disparate, so diffuse, that people can be tuned to their own communities and not fell the need to learn the common language of this city, of this country ‘i think that is a great, great shame, it’s a huge wasted opportunity for them ‘i think everybody in this country, particularly people working in our public services, should speak english’ boris johnson insisted learning english was easy he told lbc: 'it is not a difficult language the great thing about english is it has so many, very short simple words 'our grammar is unbelievably simple, we have about twice as many words as french or german 'english is unbelievably easy to get the hang of look at the way i can string these sentences together with barely a verb' his remarks come after ukip leader nigel farage suggested doctors who cannot speak 'very good english' should be banned from practising in the uk the ukip leader said it was 'scandalous' that not enough doctors and nurses were being trained in britain, meaning thousands are brought in from overseas however, he appeared unaware that two years ago the general medical council announced new checks to be carried out on the language skills of medical staff all nhs doctors have to pass a language test mr johnson added: ‘i’m amazed by reports that people cannot make themselves understood in english in this country to people working in the nhs that is completely wrong ‘i’m sure that the nhs will be taking steps to sort it out i think that we should have a culture in this country that if you come here, you do as the romans do and you learn english, you speak english ‘i don’t mean this by the way in a sort of punitive sense i’m not saying that everybody should be punished if they fail, this is a wasted opportunity for these companies they are not able to participate ‘this is a country where english has been spoken for many centuries ‘i don’t want to be hostile towards speakers of other languages, other languages are beautiful things, but this is a country that happens to speak english and the way to participate in the london economy, to make a success of your life, my message to everybody whose english is a bit rusty, is go out, find a course for english speakers of another language, they are available ‘i think that it is completely right that as part of the citizenship test that we have now in british is you should have a pretty good mastery of english ‘i think everybody should be trying to get up to that standard’

john w henry is fond of talking about the liverpool way but in one respect, the owner is moving away from the club’s traditional blueprint for success this summer by buying players in bulk order when liverpool dominated the football landscape, they used to tweak their squad with one or two quality acquisitions each summer now, with luis suarez gone and champions league due to return, manager brendan rodgers has been given the green light to go for quantity – understandable in one way, but risky in another video scroll down to watch emre can and lazar markovic dazzling before linking up with liverpool new boy: belgium centre forward divock origi has become liverpool's sixth signing of the summer big spenders: brendan rodgers is busy using the money from the £75million sale of luis suarez to barcelona settling in: lazar markovic (right), pictured in action against olympiacos, arrived from benfica for £20m video new liverpool signing eyes premier league trophy no liverpool fan needs reminding that the last time one of their managers went on a trolley dash, graeme souness ended up getting the sack after bringing in the likes of paul stewart, julian dicks, neil ruddock, stig inge bjornebye, david james, nigel clough and torben piechnik liverpool have already signed six new players this summer; rickie lambert, adam lallana, emre can and lazar markovic, dejan lovren and divock origi (who is heading back out on loan) from lille manchester city made five purchases last summer to make the leap from second to first that liverpool are trying to emulate, but only two of them became first team regulars tottenham were more radical and signed seven first xi players to replace gareth bale it didn’t work rodgers will argue a deeper squad is necessary with liverpool back playing champions league football for the first time since 2009 he has tried to minimise the risk of upheaval by ensuring some of his new players have premier league experience lallana, lambert and lovren helped southampton finish in the top half last even so, nobody knows how benfica’s lazar markovic and emre can of bayer leverkusen – both aged 20 – will fare in their first season in the premier league been there, done that: dejan lovren is one of only three new signings with premier league experience good enough? summer signing emre can (right), pictured in action against olympiacos, is hoping to force his way into liverpool's midfield next season gamble: brendan rodgers has opted to revamp his squad with a number of new additions this summer rickie lambert (£4million from southampton) premier league experience: two seasons with southampton, scoring 28 goals had turned 30 by the time he reached the top flight adam lallana (£25miliion from southampton) premier league experience: two seasons with southampton where he played well enough to get an england call up lazar markovic (£20million from benfica) premier league experience: none emre can (£10million from bayer leverkusen) premier league experience: none dejan lovren (£20million from southampton) premier league experience: one season in england but did well at southampton to earn a world cup place for croatia divock origi (£10million from lille) premier league experience: none last season, liverpool’s thrilling form was based on an almost telepathic understanding between daniel sturridge, raheem sterling and suarez how can lallana, for example, be on the same attacking wavelength when he returns from an injury lay off? at 32, can lambert adapt to the expectation at anfield having spent the majority of his career in the lower leagues in a sense, rodgers has had no choice but to deal suarez wanted to go and liverpool will have more games to play next season but it would be foolish to say this isn’t a gamble mark hughes struggled at manchester city and qpr when he was backed by a wealthy owner who wanted lots of new players even when his successor at city, roberto mancini, bought in quality stars like yaya toure and david silva in 2010 they didn’t challenge for the title, only hitting form at the end of the season to win the fa cup chelsea’s manager at the time carlo ancelotti noted at the start of that season that city ‘didn’t have a clear identity’ as they shuffled the new signings about city did add five new signings last summer and won the title; fernandinho, jesus navas, stevan jovetic, alvaro negredo and martin demichelis but only fernandinho and demichelis were regular players at the business end of the season expectation: some fans have questioned whether 32 year old rickie lambert can step up in the absence of suarez next season tough start: adam lallana will need to bounce back from a six week injury lay off after joining for £25million rodgers’ biggest task will be to make sure last season’s successful players sturridge, sterling, philippe coutinho, jordan henderson, jon flanagan, martin skrtel and others don’t lose their mojo and have their form disrupted by an army of new signings last season’s biggest turnover happened at sunderland they signed 14 players and paolo di canio got the sack after admitting: ‘there are many players and many different languages it is difficult to speak to each other’ nobody is suggesting rodgers will be as unprepared as the maverick italian but liverpool fans who think more is naturally better may be in for a shock

britain is still paying child benefit for 34,000 children who live elsewhere in the european union, despite every major political party wanting to stop the handouts david cameron, ed miliband and nick clegg have repeatedly called for end to money being sent abroad by eu migrants working in the uk who leave their children in their home country, two thirds of which are in poland but with any deal on scrapping the rules which force britain to export benefits far from certain, it will continue to cost taxpayers up to £30million every year until an agreement can be reached with all of the 27 other eu member states scroll down for video new figures show two thirds of child benefit sent abroad go to poland, where ministers have rejected british suggestions that the payments should end mr cameron is due to hold talks with german chancellor angela merkel tomorrow when she visits london they will tour the british museum before meeting in downing street, when the tory plan for a renegotiation of britain's membership of the eu will be on the agenda the prime minister has made clear that tackling benefits for migrants, especially those exported to families in other countries, will be a key demand under eu rules, the benefit has to be paid to european nationals who are working in britain and paying national insurance – even if their families are based abroad latest figures obtained by mailonline reveals that child benefit is paid to 20,660 families with 34,199 children living outside britain child benefit is paid at £2030 a week for the first child and £1340 for every other child, regardless of parental income it means the total bill for children living overseas could be up to £30million a year, although under the eu rules not all awards are made at the full uk rates according to figures for september 2014 obtained by mailonline under a freedom of information request, the total number of claims has risen slightly since december 2013 however, the numbers down down by around a sixth since the general election in 2010 amazingly, two thirds of all claims are made for children in poland claims from romania and bulgaria have risen sharply in the past four years, as work curbs were lifted at the start of 2014 david cameron is due to hold talks with german chancellor angela merkel tomorrow when she visits london conservative prime minister david cameron: 'we need are changes that are good for britain and good for europe, they do involve treaty change and proper, full on treaty change for that matter 'crucially, you don't get child benefit in respect to children that you leave at home with your, your family in other countries' lib dem deputy pm nick clegg: 'there’s this thing about us paying child benefit to people who are working here but have got children elsewhere 'obviously that’s absurd i would like to deal with that overnight, but you have to wait for the treaties to change labour's shadow work and pensions secretary rachel reeves: 'we will work with european countries to end the absurdity of child benefit and child tax credits being claimed for children living in other countries' there were 213 claims for 279 children in bulgaria in september, up from just 79 claims for 113 children in july 2010 similarly, the number of claims from romania rose from 75 to 236, covering 404 children mr cameron has made tackling the problem a central aim of his plans to renegotiate britain's membership of the eu if he remains as prime minister after may's election but his promised in out referendum is not due to take place until the end of 2017, meaning any breakthrough on stopping the payments remains years off speaking on sunday, mr cameron he told bbc one's andrew marr show: 'we need are changes that are good for britain and good for europe, they do involve treaty change and proper, full on treaty change for that matter' he added: 'crucially, you don't get child benefit in respect to children that you leave at home with your, your family in other countries' the comments came almost a year to the day since he made the same argument on the same programme in january 2014 mr cameron said it was 'wrong' that britain paid child benefit for polish workers for their 'family back at home in poland' the comments attracted a furious response from polish foreign minister radoslaw sikorski who tweeted: 'if britain gets our taxpayers, shouldn't it also pay their benefits? why should polish taxpayers subsidise british taxpayers' children?' he added: 'uk social security rules apply to all resident eu citizens no need to stigmatise poles what about british children abroad?' lib dem leader nick clegg has suggested polish parents who claim child benefit for their families in their home country should not receive the same amount as british workers while labour leader ed miliband also wants the child benefit payments to be stopped in november last year, labour's rachel reeves used an article on mailonline to set out her party's approach to curbing benefits for migrants it included 'ending child benefit and child tax credits from being sent abroad' lib dem leader mr clegg also backs the idea, and has gone further, suggesting that until the payments can be stopped, polish parents who claim child benefit for their families in their home country should not receive the same amount as british workers the deputy prime minister has ordered officials to find a legal way to slash the ‘absurd’ payments made for children who do not live in the uk he said it was not fair that britain pays £80 a month per child, but in poland child benefit is worth only £18

scientists have ruled that the year 2015 will be one second longer to compensate for the slowing of the rotation of the earth but it is feared that this 'leap second' added at midday on june 30 could trigger devastating crashes across the internet the extra second is needed because the earth's rotation is gradually slowing down by around two thousandths of a second per day and needs to catch up with atomic time the paris observatory says 30 june 2015 will be a second longer an extra second will be added at 11:59:60pm utc to sync up clocks (stock image shown) this is to account for discrepancy between earth time and atomic time it is the 26th leap second to be added since 1972 the extra unit will be added at 11:59:60pm utc on 30 june, bringing the total number of seconds for 2015 up to 31,536,001 in it is the 26th time in history since 1972 that a leap second will have been added the decision to add an extra second year was announced by the paris observatory and the international earth rotation service (iers) leap seconds are occasionally used to help ‘earth time’ catch up to ‘atomic time’ the latter is constant but the former is slower by about two thousands of a second per day of the daily sum of 86,400 seconds measured by atomic clocks, earth rotates about 0002 seconds slower this is due to the discrepancy between atomic time and the mathematically calculated time of earth's date however, earth's rotation is also getting slower, on the order of a millisecond or so every century it's thought that, four billion years ago, a day on the planet lasted just 22 hours this is mostly due to the tidal pull from the moon, which is very slightly slowing the rotation of earth to keep them in sync, it is necessary to occasionally jump earth’s time back for mathematical reasons similar to adding leap years the decision to do so is made every time earth time is slower by about half a second, making it about half a second quicker instead however, adding a second can have rather disastrous effects on various internet systems in 2012 a problem was caused when subsystems got confused by the time change and caused hyperactivity on certain servers many companies including reddit, yelp and linkedin reported crashes as their systems struggled to cope with the change while precautions have been taken to cope with the change this time, it is often a lesser known subsystem that succumbs to the changed time this time around some websites could go offline if a glitch in their systems is unearthed to alleviate the problem some companies, such as google, add fractions of a second over the preceding year so that they don’t need to make a sudden jump known as a 'leap smear' it might be the last leap second added, as some countries want to scrap the practice the last leap second in 2012 caused problems for some companies when their systems failed to cope with the change the second is added because earth's rotation (image from space shown) does not match up with atomic time leap seconds are added on one of two dates each year, either 30 june or 31 december the first was added on the former date in 1972, and 25 have since been added in the subsequent 42 years ‘earth is slowing down a little bit,’ said nick stamatakos, the chief of earth orientation parameters at the us naval observatory ‘they add an extra second to something called utc (coordinated universal time) in order to make sure the rate of utc is the same as atomic time,’ he said ‘for that day [june 30] there'll be 86,401 seconds, instead of 86,400 seconds the length of the day for you and i and everyone on the earth will have an extra second' the discrepancies between earth time as calculated by its rotation (utc) and atomic time (ut1) is shown here atomic time can be taken to be the line at zero, while the 'slowing' earth time (and the extra seconds added) can be seen by the spikes on the green line a second is added when it lags by about 06 seconds however, some nations including the us have supported a change to get rid of leap seconds they instead simply want to let the clocks run out of sync were such a decision to be made, though, it's unlikely we could ever go back to a leap second system and keep the clocks in sync this is because the clocks would be out of sync by several minutes, or maybe hours eventually, which would be virtually impossible to add to systems without disastrous consequences without leap seconds, there would be a slip of two to three minutes by the year 2100, and half an hour by 2700 other countries, like britain, wanted to keep leap seconds to preserve certain regularities such as greenwich mean time, which is the time when the sun crosses the greenwich meridian a vote is due to take place by the radiocommunication assembly and the world radiocommunication conference later in the year to decide the fate of the leap second and if its opponents get their way, this might be the last time the number of seconds in a year reaches 31,536,001

his dorky haircut, sweater vest, puffy smile, squint and braces made him an unexpected online phenomenon but the real life 'bad luck brian' is actually a church builder named kyle while his image is re purposed constantly online by anyone wanting to illustrate the depths of incompetence or sheer misfortune, kyle craven, 25, quietly works away for the family construction business in cuyahoga falls, ohio his high school photo, taken when he was 16, is the visual accompaniment to jokes such as 'wears bullet proof vest gets shot in the face', 'has a pet rock it runs away' and 'hires life coach benched' behind the meme: kyle craven, left in his normal life, found a joke yearbook photo (right) turned into a vision of incompetence and misfortune after it found its way online it has also personally earned its star $20,000 in royalties from big money ad campaigns in the united states and across the world, the washington post reported the snap shot to fame after a friend uploaded it to the reddit forum in 2012 and is struck a chord with the other users, and he joined the ranks of others whose images became inexplicably famous and repeated millions of times craven explained that he was a class clown and made the photo ridiculous on purpose he bought the sweater from a thrift store, rubbed his cheeks red before posing then pulled a stupid face indeed, the picture was so obviously silly that the school principal wouldn't let it in the final cut of the yearbook but craven and a school pal, ian davies, took a digital copy of the picture that would eventually secure his fame though it would take six years for davies to eventually share it with the world lucrative: exposing himself to mockery worldwide has brought in as much as $20,000 for craven 'famous': craven, seen here wearing a t shirt of himself, has found himself less in demand of late but still gets the occasional call it made its way to t shirts, stuffed animals and novelty items sold bu the likes of wal mart and hot topic, while companies like volkswagen, and others as far away as chile and poland paid up to use his pictures in their ad campaigns the deals, which he negotiated himself, made him an estimated $20,000, and craven tried to capitalize on his internet kudos even further by filming videos about his character he even traveled to los angeles for a 'date' with another meme character laina morris, or overly attached girlfriend while the two didn't fall in love, the resulting video was watched more than 2million times but, he told the post, his fame and profitability had an expiry date while he first video was viewed 350,000 times, interest waned fast his latest effort, from december old, has attracted an audience of fewer than 10,000, and his monthly youtube earnings now rarely breach $100 now that the internet has turned its attention elsewhere, craven is left with his job as a project manager for church construction he recently adopted a dog he considers the picture 'something to show my grandkids one day' and in the meantime does everything he can to give brian one last outing whenever another fan comes calling

the earth is definitely warming up, a large scale independent study has concluded the research by the berkeley earth surface temperature group which was largely composed of researchers new to climate science, including dr saul perlmutter, who recently won the nobel prize for physics for his work on dark energy analysed all available temperature records despite it concluding that the temperature of our planet is rising, many remain sceptical of the theory that global warming is a man made phenomenon they say that the latest findings are simply evidence that the earth is going through cycles during which the average temperature fluctuates the group's conclusions were clear earth's temperature is rising their result also tallied with previous climate change studies but berkeley group's analysis of 16billion temperature reports from weather stations and ships confirmed that over the past 50 years, the world's land surface warmed by 0911 of a degree centigrade this tallies with previous estimates by nasa and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration the group's conclusion is not about the causes of climate change whether due to man made emissions or natural cycles it's purely a statistical analysis but a more far reaching one than previous studies the group's four papers are still under review by fellow scientists publishing them at this early stage is a highly unorthodox step the study head, physicist richard muller, said there were 'legitimate issues' with previous studies, but said, 'my hope is that this will win over those people who are properly sceptical' the researchers added 32,000 new weather stations to the existing climate data, including many more readings from africa, asia, south american and antarctica the group's approach is highly rigorous and their algorithms are designed to deal with the inconsistent climate data provided by some weather stations, and to mathematically 'weight' data according to its accuracy all available information has been used in the group's analysis previous studies have been criticised for 'pruning' data by hand the case for climate change has also been damaged by revelations such as 2009's 'climategate' when emails between university of east anglia climate researchers were exposed by a hacker, and included references to using figures selectively to 'hide' a 'decline' the group added 32,000 new weather stations to existing data, including many more readings from asia, antarctica, africa and south america eighty per cent of earth's surface is within 200km of at least one of the stations used in the study the worldwide approach ensures data isn't tainted by effects such as 'urban heat islands' the warmer local climate in cities richard muller, the physicist who heads the berkeley team muller has described al gore as an 'exaggerator' and started the project after he doubted the scientific basis of previous studies nobel prize winning physicist saul perlmutter was one of the scientists behind the recent analysis he does not have a background in climate science he won the nobel this year for his work on 'dark energy' co2 emissions by country: the berkeley study does not offer any conclusions as to what might cause global warming but it confirms that some form of warming effect is taking place the research amalgamates results from 10 previous data archives, six monthly and four daily this all encompassing approach should, its authors say reduce 'potential bias' and 'statistical uncertainty' the group aims, 'to merge existing surface station temperature data sets , and to review existing temperature processing algorithms for averaging, and error analysis' the information from weather stations is often vulnerable to local conditions such as warmth from nearby buildings, or even to changes in the time of day when readings were taken local weather stations never 'aimed' to be part of a broader climate record, so many varied their methods for taking temperatures, creating 'blips' which previous studies simply cut out the berkeley group's approach allows the scientists to deal with such data without omitting readings that don't 'fit' with the overall trend it also uses a spatial technique that estimates the readings between weather stations the berkeley paper merged results from ten existing data archives four daily and six monthly to create the most all encompassing data archive yet their research uses all available climate data, and is 'open' so that other researchers can access the data they used, and the tools they used to make their conclusion 'the berkeley earth mathematical framework allows one to include short and discontinuous temperature records, so that nearly all temperature data can be used,' says the group 'the framework contains a weighting process that assesses the quality and consistency of a network of temperature stations as an integral part of the averaging process this permits data with varying levels of quality to be used without compromising accuracy' climate activists have criticised the study for being funded by a group that also funds koch industries, described by greenpeace as being central to 'climate denial' other scientists have been critical of the decision to publish before the peer reviewing process is finished but researchers from other climate studies have welcomed the berkeley group's conclusion

most girlfriends receive perfume or jewellery for christmas however, suzanne davies was given something a little more personal – her boyfriend's kidney devoted neil parry saved his partner's life by donating his organ to the 36 year old, from merthyr tydfil, wales, after discovering he was a million to one match devoted: neil parry donated his kidney to his long term partner suzanne davies both pictured in the university hospital of wales after the operation in december last year suzanne underwent the lifesaving kidney transplant in the university hospital of wales, cardiff, in december after her partner of 10 years proved a near perfect match the mother to two children was told she was in renal failure by doctors and either needed to go on dialysis or have her kidney replaced despite finding it a daunting prospect, businessman neil stepped up to help the love of his life 'he is my hero and my saviour,' suzanne said 'i'm so lucky to have him in my life for the last 10 years we have been together he has seen me suffer with my health he could have walked away but he didn't 'he has stuck with me through thick and thin and now he has given me a new lease of life i can't thank him enough' suzanne has suffered with a rare disorder of the adrenal glands, called addison's disease, since she was just eight years old she has needed regular medication for nearly three decades to replace two essential hormones she lacks in her body called cortisol and aldosterone 'my hero': suzanne says she has a new lease of life after her partner neil donated his kidney to her but her health took a turn for the worse two years ago when her kidney function began to deteriorate she said: 'i was being sick quite a lot and for the past 18 months i've been suffering with gout and getting lots of infections 'when i went to see a consultant in september and he said i either needed a transplant or dialysis 'both my mum and neil were a match but it was best to go with neil as he's younger and more healthy it was a big step for him' addison's disease is a condition in which the body does not make enough of the hormone cortisol when the body's cortisol levels drop too low, this can cause a range of symptoms these include weakness, dizziness, fatigue and abdominal pain a very low cortisol level can be life threatening this is because cortisol is vital as it helps regulate blood pressure and the immune system and it helps the body respond to stress addison's disease is treated with hormone replacement tablets it is thought about 8,000 people in the uk have the illness and most cases first develop in people aged between 30 and 50 about 70 per cent of cases are thought to be caused by an autoimmune disease but it can also be triggered by tb source: patientcouk the pair met 10 years ago on a night out in swansea and have been inseparable ever since they have two children together, nine year old cole and five year old isla, and also lost a daughter at just a day old in 2008 suzanne said: 'neil is my best friend and we've been through so much together 'he has changed my life for the better so our two beautiful children can have a healthy mum 'we might get married at some stage, but i don't need a piece of paper to prove how much we belong together 'i'd rather hand over all the wedding money to charity' suzanne, who is still in hospital after she suffered a minor infection in her ureteric stent following the transplant on december 8, said she now has plans to study to become a nurse or criminologist 'i've never been healthy in my life, so for him to give me this chance is amazing,' she said neil said the entire family managed to spend christmas day at their merthyr home he said: 'if she'd gone on dialysis she'd need three visits a week to the hospital and people on dialysis get very poorly 'having the operation meant we were both out of action for a just couple of months, rather than anything long term we are a strong couple' the chances of receiving a good match from a non related living donor, such as a friend or spouse, are around one in a million professor neil turner, ex chairman of kidney research uk, said: 'for kidney patients in need of a transplant, there’s a strong chance that their parents or children will be a good match, because they are directly related and one in four siblings may be a near perfect match 'however, the chances of receiving a perfect match from a non related living donor, such as a friend or spouse, are around one in a million 'with 5,500 people in the uk currently awaiting a kidney transplant, we really need more people to join the organ donor register 'we also need more research aimed at improving the lifespan of transplanted kidneys this has got much better, but on average they last a bit less than 15 years before needing to be replaced'

it was all going so well for barcelona six games played and no goals conceded the statistics laughed in the face of critics who said in the summer that once again they had failed to bring in the correct defensive reinforcements then they played a team with something approaching a world class forward line and the house of cards came tumbling down lucas moura, edinson cavani and javier pastore is not the europe's greatest forward line but it's a good few notches up on the spanish league teams barça have played so far and it was too much for a back four made up of three full backs (two of them who play like wingers, and one converted into a centre back) and a holding midfielder, also converted into a centre back those flying full backs dani alves and jordi alba were at fault for the first two goals alves conceded the free kick for the first and alba lost possession ahead of the second the brazilian gave the ball away 15 times and alba 8 times as barcelona lost possession 82 times during the game marco verratti heads in psg's second goal of the evening during the champions league clash with barcelona having not conceded in their opening six games of the season, barcelona then shipped three in one game 'i have seen a lot of barcelona games and teams always create chances by getting in behind their advanced full backs,' said laurent blanc after the game barça always played with a high full back under pep guardiola but he was usually balanced out by a more defensive player on the opposite flank guardiola's barça, at its best, had alves on the right and eric abidal on the left alves and alba has long been one risk too many, especially against good teams in the centre of defence it would be unfair to blame the mascherano mathieu axis – almost as unfair as when the french defender was confronted by an angry fan at the club's training ground last week over a bet the supporter had lost because barça failed to beat malaga; mathieu didn't even play in the game in truth both have been solid and developed a good understanding both have the pace to play the high line that suits barca's pressing game but it's also true that neither is the young dynamic defender the club's supporters have long requested be signed barcelona play with an incredibly high defensive line which can leave them exposed on the flanks under pep guardiola, dani alves would attack while the left back defended, but now both push forward there was an attempt in the summer to sign marquinhos but barça were priced out of the move late on in tuesday's game he made the last gasp save from jordi alba that made sure of all three points his wild celebration – as if he had scored – was telling he had shown on the night that he was worth the money barcelona were unable or unwilling to pay for him alongside him was david luiz who had also been on barcelona's radar and in the stands was a watching thiago silva who was the original 'missed target' as they have failed to sign a top defender despite the obvious need neymar and lionel messi are on form for barcelona but without an improved defence they will struggle this was arguably the first time this season that barcelona had faced an attacking line up with real quality one top defender who is at barcelona is gerard pique but he has only started two games all season and is evidently not in luis enrique's first choice xi on his own recent admission he is not the majestic all conquering defender of old and is currently third choice with pique back to his best and either mathieu or thomas vermaelen at left back to give the back four more balance we may yet see barça sort themselves out defensively settling on a keeper and bringing to an end the constant switching between marc andre ter stegen and claudio bravo may also help until such time they will continue to be picked off by europe's best attacking teams they can't win the champions league if when messi and neymar score at one end, chaos continues to reign at the other video luis enrique rues barcelona errors
